It’s officially summer and in a few short weeks, all college sports, NBA and NHL postseasons will be over. That leaves just one major professional sports league in action: Major League Baseball.
With two months of the MLB season completed, we have an idea of who the championship contenders are and who aren’t. But there’s still time left for teams or individual players to turn things around (please let the Rangers find some offense).
After two months, not much has changed for the former Ole Miss players in the major and minor leagues. Jacob Gonzalez was called up last week to the Chicago White Sox after a red-hot streak at the plate in AAA. He’s since recorded four hits as a major leaguer.
Here’s how Gonzalez and the other ex-Rebels have performed this season. All stats are through June 3.
