June 21, 2024 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State outfielder Dakota Jordan was named a third team All-American by Baseball America on Friday. It is Jordan's second All-America honor of the season.
Awards and honors followed Jordan all throughout the 2024 season as he won the Ferriss Trophy for being the best collegiate player in the state of Mississippi, was a second-team All-SEC outfielder, 2024 Golden Spikes Award semifinalist and 2024 Charlottesville All-Regional Team member. He was also named ABCA All-South Region and a NCBWA second team All-American.
Over the 2024 season at MSU, Jordan excelled for the Diamond Dawgs as he led the team in home runs (20), RBIs (72), hits (85) and slugging percentage (.671). Jordan has the seventh-best batting average in the SEC hitting .354. His 20 home runs are the eighth-most in a single season at Mississippi State. He led the team with 26 multi-hit games and 21 multi-RBI games. He was the only Dawg to pick up a five-hit game this season.
In two seasons, Jordan appeared in 107 games for State and had a career batting average of .336. He blasted 30 homers and drove in 112 runs along with scoring 86 runs. He had 132 hits for his career and 55 extra base hits. Jordan's on-base percentage stands at .435 over his two seasons.
Jordan becomes the first position player since RJ Yeager in 2022 to earn multiple All-American honors in the same season and the first outfielder to do so since Tanner Allen in 2021.
