Your daily briefing on what's going on with Mississippi State Athletics
STARKVILLE, Miss. – The 2024 MLB Draft will begin Sunday evening and Mississippi State fans can expect to hear a familiar name early on the proceedings.
Mississippi State pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje is expected to go in the first round of the upcoming draft, with most mock drafts pegging him to go somewhere between No. 10 and 20. MLB.com’s Jim Callis has Cijntje going. Law said in his mock draft, “I’ve heard the Mariners covet Cijntje, and prefer pitching to hitting at this spot.”
However, there are other mock drafts that have the ambidextrous pitcher going later in the first round. Whoever selects Cijntje will be getting one of the most unique pitching prospects in recent memory. Last season for MSU, he compiled an 8-2 overall record in 90.2 innings and finished with a 3.62 ERA.“There’s this notion of ‘If you come in my house I’ll shoot ya.’ I do have a Viking axe by the bed if I need to whack someone.
