Ole Miss baseball signs Top 10 Class: Rebel Roundup

Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics, including the Rebels’ Top 10 ranked signing class.

on

Ole Miss baseball’s 2025 signing class was ranked No. 9 in Baseball America’s class rankings announced earlier this month.

The Rebels’ class includes Noah Allen, Bryden Bull, Evan Farrow, Grayson Gibson, Cannon Goldin, Blake Ilitch, Coy James, Leo Odom, Kelven Perera, and Luke Romine.

Here’s what Baseball America’s Peter Flaherty had to say about the Rebels’ class that was one of seven SEC teams ranked in the Top 10:

“After putting together the fourth-ranked 2024 recruiting class, there appears to be more high-quality talent on its way to Oxford. Coy James leads the way, and the 6-foot shortstop is armed with an advanced offensive acumen. He’s an aggressive hitter who generates consistent hard contact and flashes pull-side power that shows up in-game. James has good hand-eye coordination, and his ability to adjust allows him to get his barrel on the ball even when he doesn’t get his best swing off.”

“Righthander Blake Ilitch has a strong 6-foot-4 frame, and has an intriguing four-pitch mix that includes a fastball that has been up to 94 mph, two distinct breaking balls in an upper-70s curveball and a low-80s slider and a budding split-change…Bryden Bull has an imposing 6-foot-5 frame with room to add more strength, and he generates serious power from his smooth lefthanded stroke. The main aspect of Bull’s game to monitor going forward is how his hit tool progresses. Outfielder Cannon Goldin is a twitchy athlete with present strength and plus speed, and he frequently puts together quality at-bats.”
