ATLANTA – After finishing last season in the SAA Championship Series, the Millsaps baseball team is predicted to finish the 2023 regular season in fifth, following a preseason vote by Southern Athletic Association baseball head coaches.

Millsaps finished last season 24-21 (11-10 SAA), placed sixth in the tightly contested regular-season standings and were guided by reigning SAA Coach of the Year Jim Page.
