Ole Miss Adds Power Hitter Koskie | Jackson News

Ole Miss baseball just got a major boost in the outfield with the transfer of standout Indiana slugger Caleb Koskie, who announced his move on July 16. Hitting .372 with over 50 hits, 10+ doubles, and a 22-game hitting streak, Koskie also boasts a perfect fielding percentage and more walks than strikeouts. His arrival fills a critical void left by the departure of both corner outfielders from last year’s College World Series team. Joining him will be versatile Blake Fields, who can play multiple positions and walked more than he struck out last season, alongside returning center fielder Hayden Federico. This trio looks poised to give Ole Miss a powerful, reliable outfield for the upcoming season. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
