January 20, 2026 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's Ace Reese received his second All-America honor for 2026.
The junior third baseman was selected as a second team Preseason All-American on Tuesday by D1Baseball, the same honor he received from that outlet following the 2025 season. Reese was also recently tabbed a first team Preseason All-American by Perfect Game.
Reese started 57 games at third base for the Diamond Dawgs last spring and led the team with a .352 batting average, 80 hits, 18 doubles, 21 home runs, 66 RBIs, 163 total bases and a .718 slugging percentage and ranked in the top seven in the Southeastern Conference in each of those categories. His homer total was also the eighth-most in a single season in school history.
The native of Canton, Texas was chosen as the SEC Newcomer of the Year, a first team All-SEC selection and produced 25 multi-hit games, 20 multi-RBI games and five multi-homer games during his first year at MSU. He also represented the country playing for Team USA in Japan during the summer of 2025.
It is the Bulldogs' 167th All-America honor spanning across 58 student-athletes in the program's storied history.
