Ole Miss junior outfielder Kemp Alderman has been named the winner of the 2023 Ferriss Trophy, given annually to the top college baseball player in Mississippi.
The Decatur, Mississippi native led the Rebels with a .376 average, 19 home runs and 61 RBIs. Mississippi State’s Hunter Hines, Jackson State’s Ty Hill and Southern Miss’ Slade Wilks and Tanner Hall were the other finalists. Hall won the award in 2022.
Alderman is the sixth Ole Miss player to win the award and first since Auston Bousfield in 2014.
