Mississippi State Baseball Standouts Receive Postseason Honors

Mississippi State Baseball standout third baseman Ace Reese and designated hitter Noah Sullivan were selected to the ABCA/Rawlings South All-Region team on Tuesday.

This comes after Brian O'Connor takes over for the Bulldogs. The Former Virginia manager is also part of the selection committee. Reese was given first team honors, while Sullivan earned second team honors in 2025. 

Reese started 57 games at the hot corner for the Diamond Dawgs and led the team batting .352 with 80 hits, 18 doubles, 21 home runs, 66 RBIs, 163 total bases and a slugging percentage of .718. He had 25 multi-hit games, 20 multi-RBI games and five multi-homer games.

The Canton, Texas native ranks second in the SEC in slugging percentage, third in homers and total bases, fourth in doubles, sixth in RBIs, seventh in hits and eighth in batting average.

Sullivan was the lone MSU player to start all 59 games in 2025. The junior from Orlando, Florida boasted a team-best .475 on-base percentage and 63 runs scored while batting .345 with 70 hits, 16 doubles, 15 homers and 46 RBIs. His on-base percentage currently ranks third in the SEC.

The additions of Reese and Sullivan bring the total number of Bulldogs named ABCA All-Region to 75 since 1949. During that span, MSU has earned 93 honors. They had four player named last year.

Mississippi State ended the 2025 season with a 36-23 record, and was eliminated from the College World Series in the Tallahassee regional.
