Southern Fried Tidbits for the End of July

Craig Tatum- Former Hattiesburg High School and Mississippi State catcher, recently made his Major League debut for the Cincinnati Reds. Congrats to Craig!

The world's worst kept secret in the Mississippi Baseball Universe is that Jet Butler is trying to convert to catcher, at least part-time. He is now playing in the Cotton States League, a collegiate wood bat league in New Albany. I think this is valiant, but I think he returns to middle infield, at least for the rest of his MSU career.

Conner Powers- Current (for now, fingers crossed) MSU first baseman, and Los Angeles Dodgers draft pick, has won the Cape Cod League, the most prestigious wood bat collegiate league in America, home run derby which was at Fenway Park in Boston.

Speaking of Conner Powers and the draft, and also for those who are watching Ole Miss signee David Renfroe and MSU signee CC Watson among others, the deadline to sign is August 17.
