RHP Duke Stone (@dukestone_10) arrived to Mississippi State a thrower. Big and strong, he found success with strength. Over two years in Starkville, Stone has transformed into a pitcher. Now he’s crafty - an artist out there.
And he’s only getting better.

Mississippi State LHP Tomas Valincius is all business. He leads by example, setting the tone for a loaded staff. After a dominant sophomore year, he's folding in new pitches in 2027.
Another gear from Valincius should scare the SEC, and fascinate scouts.

COMMIT: Mississippi State lands the top pitcher in the 2028 class. LHP Greyson Bell is headed to Starkville. It’s six pitches, and buckets of strikes. Up to 95 already.
The No. 11 prospect in the 2028 class.

Bottom 7th, Western Kentucky has an 8-7 lead over Mississippi State. Overbeek leads off and grounds out, Christman waves at strike three, and Hovater walks to put the tying run on.
Danza bats, wild pitch moves the runner, walk puts the winning run on. Firgens is up and walks to load the bases.
WKU changes pitchers to face Strohm with the winning run in scoring position with two out. He strikes out swinging and that’s a day. WKU takes the second session 8-7.
Weatern Kentucky 8-8-3
Mississippi State 7-6-1
Top 7th, the final inning today, Landon Brown in to pitch for Mississippi State, which needs to hold the 8-7 Western Kentucky lead right there to have a chance in the bottom half.
Brown gets a ground ball to 2b for out one, a strikeout makes two away, but a walk gives WKU a two-out baserunner, but he’s picked off to end the half inning. Last chance coming up for State.
Top 6th, Mississippi State adds a run and leads Western Kentucky 7-5, with Wilson Andersen on to pitch. He gets a great snag at SS by Geertsma and tag at 1b by Overbeek to keep the leadoff batter off base. A called strikeout makes two away, then a walk gives WKU a baserunner.
An error puts runners on the corners, and State will huddle on the mound. Andersen stays in and a hot shot past SS scores a run, corners again and a single to CF makes it 7-7. Corners a third time, and a ball gets away to give WKU its first lead since the 2nd inning.
Runner in scoring position and still two out, a walk draws Head Coach Brian O’ Connor to the mound, followed by Carson Fair to pitch. He gets a fly ball to CF that finally ends the inning, but the Hilltoppers reclaim the early lead with the Bulldogs having just two innings left to overcome it. WKU 8, MSU 7.
Bottom 5th of seven scheduled, Mississippi State looks to expand a 6-5 lead over Western Kentucky. Christman is first and is hit, then Hovater bunts him into scoring position. Danza is rung up, and Firgens follows. He singles into LCF and drives in the run, 7-5. Strohm follows and walks to put two on and two out. Hanna flies to CF to end the inning, but MSU gets a run for the first time in three innings and takes a two-run lead.
