Redshirt junior third baseman Mikey Bell is parting ways with the Gonzaga Bulldogs after two successful seasons, as he prepares to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This news, reported by D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers, marks a significant shift for the program as Bell, a two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year, becomes one of the most sought-after players available.
When the transfer portal officially opens on June 1, Bell will undoubtedly attract considerable attention from programs eager to add his impressive skill set. The portal remains open for a 30-day window, closing on June 30, offering ample opportunity for teams to pursue the standout infielder.
During his tenure in Spokane, Washington, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Bell showcased remarkable offensive prowess, boasting a .369 batting average. He recorded 24 doubles, 20 home runs, and 92 runs batted in, while also drawing 51 walks. His impressive .448 on-base percentage, .610 slugging percentage, and 1.057 on-base plus slugging percentage highlight his offensive capabilities across 107 games.
Before joining Gonzaga, the Fresno, California native began his college career at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, California. As Bell embarks on this new chapter, he leaves a lasting legacy at Gonzaga, and fans and teammates alike wish him the best in his future endeavors.
