Baseball season is almost here. Can you believe it?
These cold days of January make us long for warm afternoons at Swayze Field, and the anticipation grows with D1Baseball.com's No. 18 preseason ranking. The Rebels are one of 8 SEC teams in the Top 25, proving once again that it is the best baseball conference in the land.
If the Rebels' No. 18 ranking sounds disappointing, don't forget Ole Miss wasn't even ranked in the 2014 preseason polls, but the Rebels would go on to the College World Series.
Bring on spring. Bring on baseball!
