re: Ole Miss fans, tell me about John Rhys Plumlee (baseball)

Never personally seen him play but I lived in Hattiesburg while he was in high school and worked with a guy that had a son playing at Petal (Oak Grove's cross town rival)

According to him JRP was always a better football player. Said he never really looked like a natural in baseball and was able to get by on his insane athleticism. Said things like he didn't track fly balls very well. He'd get there due to his speed but would arrive on routine balls at the last minute and dropped more than an outfielder should that hit his glove. His averaged indicates he's a pretty good hitter, but who know how many of those were infield/bunt singles that were base hits in high school and will be outs in the SEC
