From his time at Mississippi State through his career in Major League Baseball, there weren't many relievers more reliable than Powell. A Freshman All-American, Powell was an All-Southeastern Conference selection as a freshman in 1991 and went on to earn a pair of all-region honors. He led MSU in saves in 1991 (10). Over 67 career appearances, Powell totaled 11 victories and 17 saves with 160 strikeouts in 161 innings of work. In three seasons, the right-hander helped MSU to an NCAA Regional each season.
In the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft, the Baltimore Orioles selected Powell with the 19th overall pick, and he spent 11 seasons in professional baseball. A part of the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins club, he was the winner in the decisive Game 7. Powell completed his entire 10-plus-year MLB career without ever having a losing record.
Powell was chosen as an SEC Baseball Legend in 2014.
