Incredible season for the @IMGABaseball Post Grad Pitching Staff. Couldn't be more fortunate to work with & learn from this group. Can't wait to see what you all do at the next level!

I am excited to announce my commitment to @GStateBaseball . Thankful for the opportunity Coach Lewis is giving me to be a Cardinal. @_BLewis_

Hit my new mound pr in my bullpen yesterday. Only up from here.

[Nicholas McCord @NickMcCord2]

After taking a few months off of pitching to focus on gaining velocity I was put in an opportunity to close my game today against a very good ball club for my first inning back. I threw 8 pitches, all being strikes and topped 91 and not going below 90, complimented by my slider.

Went out to get some infield reps and velo. First week at IMG has been an amazing experience and I can’t wait for the season. Hit 92 mph twice (one recorded) and 91 once. Looking to build off all my summer work to become the best me. #uncommitted

Came back out for a wood bat round of bp. Hit 6 hr balls (4 on film). Continuing to push myself everyday to be the best I can be. #uncommitted

With a plus slider and a fastball that has topped out at 98, Drake Meeks ('26 eligible) has shown Day 1 upside. He looks to be a deciding factor for Southern Mississippi's pitching success this season.
