Lance Lynn is a member of the 2025 M-Club Hall of Fame class. One of the most successful pitchers in Ole Miss history, both in college and professional baseball, Lynn spent three years (2006-08) with the Rebels, followed by a highly successful pro career (2009-2024). At Ole Miss, Lynn finished with a 23-12 record with 48 starts in 51 appearances, 297.4 innings pitched and three complete games. Lynn set the Ole Miss single-season (146) and career (332) pitching strikeout records.

Lynn had a dominant sophomore season in 2007, finishing the year in the top five in the SEC in ERA, opponent batting average, innings pitched, and strike outs. Lynn was selected in the first round of the 2008 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. After just two-plus seasons in minor league system, Lynn was in the major leagues for 13 seasons, beginning with the Cardinals (2011-15, 2017), the Twins (2018), the Yankees (2018), the Rangers (2019-2020), the White Sox (2021-23), the Dodgers (2023), and returning to the Cardinals at the end of his career (2024). In his first season (2011), the Cardinals were World Series champions. During his 13 major league seasons, Lynn compiled a 143-99 record, with a career 3.74 ERA and 2,015 strikeouts.
