February 05, 2025 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – Less than two weeks away from the 2025 baseball season, the Mississippi State baseball team was tabbed as the No. 19 team in the country by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Â
MSU found themselves ranked No. 18 earlier this preseason by D1 Baseball and Baseball America.
The Diamond Dawgs completed 2024 with a 40-23 overall record. MSU earned a berth into the NCAA Tournament, their 40th appearance in an NCAA Tournament.  Mississippi State tied a program record with MLB Draft Picks in 2024 with 11 players being drafted, the most by a university.

The 2025 season gets underway on Feb. 14 when the Diamond Dawgs host Manhattan in a three-game series at Dudy Noble Field.
Mississippi State's 55-game schedule features 31 home games, 18 road contests, and six neutral-site matchups. The Diamond Dawg play seven of their first eight games at home and have an eight-game homestand from April 29 to May 13.
