Summary
Star third-year Ole Miss shortstop Jacob Gonzalez will miss the remainder of the fall intrasquad season following an injury suffered in a second-base collision in practice.
Long-time Rebel hitting coach Mike Clement, who joined the Ole Miss Spirit's Talk of Champions podcast on Tuesday, said there are no long-term concerns for Gonzalez, who has started over 130 combined games in his two Ole Miss seasons.
He's expected to be ready for the season. Ole Miss opens February 17 against Delaware.
“Him and (John) Kramer had a train wreck at second base,” Clement said. “A stolen base. They both stayed down. Gonzo stayed down a little longer than any of us would have liked.”
Gonzalez has an MCL sprain.
However, there is “no meniscus damage,” according to Clement, and no other ligaments were affected. He won't have surgery, instead focusing on rest and rehab.
Gonzalez is a career .315 hitter at Ole Miss, including 30 home runs and 107 RBI. He has 159 total hits and a career .424 OBP (on-base percentage).
“We’re going to wrap him in a big bubble for the rest of the fall and told him to show up when we open up,” next season, Clement said.
Clement also provided an extensive update on practices so far, as well as touched on mechanical adjustments for veteran infielder Peyton Chatagnier and a Party in the Sip for the national-champion Rebels in November.
