Ben Hudspeth, who went 11-0 with a 1.82 ERA as a freshman for Itawamba Community College in 2012, has committed to Mississippi State, according to a release from ICC. Hudspeth, a first-team NJCAA All-American, would join the Bulldogs for the 2014 season. ICC reports that it has had at least one player sign with an SEC school for 11 straight years. Former Indians catcher Zack Randolph signed with MSU last fall and will be on the 2013 club. ICC, which went 39-13 in 2012, also sent two players to William Carey for the 2013 season: pitcher Landon Brister, who was 6-1 last season, and outfielder Jeremy Ferguson, a .325 hitter.
