New baseball commit

This according to Yancy.

The Ole Miss baseball program received its 6th public commitment last night when OF Tanner Mathis made it official.

Tanner is a 6’ 1”, 185 pound outfielder that bats and throws from the left side. He is an athletic player that has had a remarkable career as a two-way player. He plays for Barbe HS in LA which is widely considered one of the best HS programs in the country. Tanner has good speed (6.8) in the sixty and gets down the line from home to 1B very well. He is a great hitter with good hands, bat control, gap to gap power, and a very advanced approach. In the OF he gets good jumps and reads on the ball and has a good OF arm. Tanner is your prototype leadoff guy who can steal bases and has an advanced feel for the bunt game. Tanner chose us over LSU, Texas A&M, Southern Miss, UL-Lafayette, and SE Louisiana among others.

Excellent pick up. We need a solid lead-off guy and speed in the OF. I really think Henry will turn it back around this coming season and it would be great to see two quick guys out there tearing it up.
