Summary
Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 is joined by Illinois transfer outfielder Daniel Pacella in this edition of Talk of Champions, powered by RiverLand Roofing.
Pacella was a first-team All-MVC selection last season. He started all 56 games in left field for the Redbirds and totaled 59 RBI, the seventh-most in a single season in program history. He led the team with a .355 batting average.
Pacella had 41 extra-base hits, including 20 home runs, the second-most in a single season for a Redbird. He finished second all-time at Illinois State in career home runs (45) and RBI (169). He was a back-to-back all-conference honoree.
Pacella explains why he chose Ole Miss over LSU, Mississippi State and others, his mindset entering the MLB Draft and much, much more.
