OXFORD — Ole Miss’ 2025 baseball season doesn’t start until February, but there’s still organized college baseball being played this time of year outside of Omaha.
Several Rebels are participating in collegiate wooden bat leagues around the country this summer. The various leagues started at different junctures, so not all the stats will look the same or be comparable.
Ole Miss finished the 2024 season 27-29 and missed the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season after winning the national championship in 2022.
Hudson Calhoun: Northwoods League, Kenosha Kingfish
Calhoun appeared in two games for the Rebels as a sophomore, logging 1.1 innings of work with one earned run allowed. Calhoun is 3-0 for the Kingfish and has yet to allow a run in his three starts. He’s logged 17 strikeouts and six walks.
