During the 2024 season, Mississippi State didn't return to the heights of 2021, when they won the College World Series. The 40-23 Bulldogs lost in the regional round of the NCAA Tournament.

With the season heading into transfer portal time, the Bulldogs stand to lose a few players, but at this point, no significant contributors. Here's the rundown on their potential transfer portal losses.

Cole Cheatham, P

A six-foot-three lefty from Alabama, Cheatham has pitched only sparingly in three seasons with the Bulldogs. He has no career decisions in 31 2/3 career innings. He has a 7.39 ERA and has walked 30 batters. Cheatham worked just 7 2/3 innings in 2024.

Logan Forsythe, P

An in-state propsect, Forsythe also didn't pitch much in his two seasons as a Bulldog.

The six-foot righty pitched just 11 2/3 innings, posting a 10.80 ERA and an 0-1 record. While Forsythe whiffed 21 batters, he also walked 11 hitters. Forsythe pitched just 5 1/3 innings in 2024.

Gage Haley, P

A massive six-foot-seven righty, Haley is an in-state prospect who pitched in just one game as a Bulldog.

He pitched two scoreless innings on April 2 against Central Arkansas, walking two batters and striking out two batters. Given Haley's size, he could merit a flyer for a team wanting to take a shot at developing his potential.

Jackson McKenzie, IF/OF

McKenzie was a batting and pitching prospect with high accolades from Florida. The six-foot-two lefty saw little action in 2024, going 3-for-16 at the plate with one RBI and seven strikeouts. With three seasons left, he will get a shot to develop either at bat or on the mound.

Max Miller, P

Miller is a six-foot-one lefty and an in-state player, who in two seasons with MSU, faced one batter. Pitching against Evansville in 2024, Miller walked the only hitter he faced on four pitches. Needless to say, there's nowhere to go but up for Miller.

Jace Norton, IF

A six-foot-five infielder from Auburn, Alabama, Norton saw no game action in 2024 and is accordingly redshirting.

Given his original place of residence, it will be interesting to see if Norton moves closer to home or tries to stay at an SEC level of competition after his time at Mississippi State.
