Mississippi State Lands Greyson Bell, the No. 1 Left-Handed Pitcher in the 2028 Class
Mississippi State has won one of the biggest recruiting battles of the fall, landing a commitment from Greyson Bell, the No. 1 left-handed pitcher in the 2028 recruiting class.
Bell, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound left-hander and first baseman from Douglassville, Pennsylvania, where he attends Daniel Boone Area High School, chose the Diamond Dawgs after narrowing his recruitment to several SEC programs. His fastball reaches 95 mph with heavy arm-side run, and he pairs it with a sharp-breaking slider and a developing changeup. Baseball America’s scouting report praises his advanced pitchability and a high-spin slider that ranks among the best in the 2028 class.
For Bell, the decision came down to people as much as baseball.
“It was the coaching staff, the culture there and how everyone pushes each other,” Bell told 247Sports. “I loved everything about Mississippi State and I am finally able to call that place my future home.”
The commitment is another major building block for head coach Brian O’Connor as he assembles the Bulldogs’ future pitching staffs in Starkville.

Florida State Splits With North Florida to Wrap Up Opening Fall Ball Weekend
Florida State wrapped up its opening weekend of fall ball with a split against North Florida on October 17 at Dick Howser Stadium, winning the first six-inning game 7-1 before the Ospreys took the second 7-2. Combined with Friday’s sweep of Jacksonville, the Seminoles won three of their four fall ball games on the weekend.
Freshman outfielder Genson Veras stayed hot, collecting two hits and two RBI with a home run – a solo shot that put Florida State back in front in the opener. Senior outfielder Brody DeLamielleure went 3-for-4 on the day, and junior catcher Coy Clements drove in a pair of runs.
The pitching staff continued to impress. Senior left-hander Payton Manca threw 2.0 scoreless, hitless innings, junior Jordan Martinez added 2.0 shutout innings with three strikeouts, and freshmen Spencer Krasner and Donovan Thiery each tossed a no-hit inning, with Thiery lighting up the radar gun at 97-99 mph.
Saturday was also Fan Day in Tallahassee, with autographs and kids running the bases after the games. Florida State’s fall schedule continues October 24 against South Florida in Clearwater and concludes with the Garnet & Gold All-Star Game on October 30.
