Mississippi State scores first-round pick, keeps recruits after MLB draft, Brian Hadad reports

The Major League Baseball draft delivered a dual victory for Mississippi State, Brian Hadad wrote. Ace Reese was taken in the first round while multiple recruits remained undrafted and available to enroll.

Hadad wrote the weekend presented two primary concerns for the program: seeing current players drafted and getting as many members of a highly regarded recruiting class to campus as possible.

According to Hadad, Ace Reese became the latest Diamond Dawg to be selected in the first round. Hadad added that five of the top eight prospects in the recruiting class were not chosen in the draft, clearing the way for them to join the roster.

Hadad wrote that the results amounted to a successful outcome for Mississippi State and its staff, and his account examines how those elements came together for the program this weekend.
