Rankings from D1Baseball

The 2023 Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball team represented Mississippi State University in the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bulldogs played their home games at Dudy Noble Field.

Previous season

[edit]

In 2022, the Bulldogs finished 26–30, 9–21 in the SEC to finish in last place in the West, one of the worst seasons in recent history. The Diamond Dawgs were coming off winning a national championship the year before. The Mississippi State baseball looks to turn things around from last year, and once again, make it back to Omaha.[2]
