Ole Miss baseball adds talented transfer outfielder Ethan Groff from Tulane

OXFORD, Miss. — On Sunday, Ole Miss added a talented transfer outfielder in Ethan Groff from Tulane. He announced his commitment via Twitter.

[Ole Miss also added another top-notch recruit Sunday in Anthony Calarco.]

Groff played right field for a Green Wave team that finished 33-26-1 last season. 

The Orlando, Florida native hit .404 in 2022 as a redshirt sophomore with a .709 slugging percentage. He tallied nine home runs, 15 doubles and 35 RBI. He led the American Athletic Conference in the doubles category. 

Here is how Perfect Game scouted Groff during his recruitment while in high school: 

“Ethan Groff is a 2018 SS/2B with a 5-10 175 lb. frame from Orlando, FL who attends Trinity Prep. Medium middle infielder’s build, room to get stronger. Smooth defensive actions, stays balanced and moves through the ball well, soft hands, has a compact arm action and a quick release on his throws, fundamentally sound defensive player, ran a 7.24 at the PG Junior National Showcase. Right handed hitter, hits from an open stance with a high hand start, hands dive inside on his swing path, exaggerated inside swing, mid to opposite field contact approach. Excellent student.”
