Mississippi State has been one of the nation's top college baseball teams throughout the entire 2021 season- that continued to be the case as the regular season came to a close this weekend with the Bulldogs sweeping Alabama in Tuscaloosa to finish with a 20-10 record in SEC Play and a 40-13 record overall.
The Bulldogs' last home game of the 2021 regular season was a midweek bout with Jacksonville State on Tuesday. Though it was shortened by rain, the game did reach the 5 inning threshold to count as an official game, with State claiming the win by a score of 6-1. The win improved the cream script "State" jerseys' record to 6-3 on the season.
For the second time in three seasons under Chris Lemonis, Mississippi State finished 2021 with a perfect record in midweek games. The Bulldogs' 11 midweek wins were split among four different uniforms, with 4 wins in the cream script "State" jerseys, 3 wins each in the white 85s and white M over S pinstripes, and 1 win in the gray M over S pinstripes.
The series in Tuscaloosa was the Bulldogs' first road Thursday-Saturday series of the season; just as they had in their two home Thurs-Sat weekend series, they kept their Friday uniform the same, bumping the usual Saturday uniform up to Thursday and shifting the usual Sunday uniform to Saturday. For a road series, this meant bumping up the gray script "State" jerseys to Thursday, keeping the maroon 85 jerseys with white pants on Friday, and shifting the gray M over S pinstripes to Saturday.
As the Bulldogs swept the series, all three of those uniforms got a nice bump to their season records. The gray script "State" uniforms are still undefeated, with a 5-0 record in 2021 and a 6-0 all-time record that dates back to last season's series at Long Beach. The maroon 85 jerseys improved to 10-4 on the season, including 9-4 when paired with white pants. The gray M over S pinstripes broke a two-game road SEC game 3 losing streak, improving to 3-2 to finish the regular season with a winning record.
With the gray pinstripes getting back over .500, every single one of the Bulldogs' 2021 uniform elements finished the 2021 regular season with a winning record. That's every combination, every hat, every jersey, and every pair of pants. Which really illustrates just how special this baseball team has been.
Finally, with the 2021 regular season coming to a close, it's time to assign jersey number models for the Bulldogs' 8 combinations. Throughout the regular season, both on the Hail State Unis Database and in my season-to-date graphics, every uniform has been using the #21 jersey- that of hitting coach Jake Gautreau. Now, it's time to spread the love among the Bulldogs' top contributors.
