Mississippi State baseball has landed three members to its 2025 transfer portal class: Gehrig Frei, Noah Sullivan, and Sawyer Reeves. All three guys have been solid additions, but the Bulldogs lack an absolute star and depth.

MSU is replacing a ton of talent, and replacing guys like Dakota Jordan and David Mershon is tough, but it is the standard. It is no secret that State struggled offensively last season, especially late, and it needs to improve, but none of these guys have the makings of a star.

However, all three guys do not strike out a lot, which shows that is a real focus while recruiting the portal for this staff. On the mound, the Bulldogs will replace the bulk of their rotation and the backend of the bullpen.

However, MSU has not signed a pitcher out of the portal, which is concerning. MSU pitching coach Justin Parker worked a miracle last year with his staff, but relying on another one is risky.

It has been a solid start, but there is still alot of work to do.
