Senior Transfer JP France Is Headed To The Houston Astros Organization

The Mississippi State baseball team only got one year out of JP France, but that doesn’t mean that the senior transfer hasn’t made his mark on this team. France came to Starkville after transferring from Tulane and he’s certainly helped MSU in this season.

France’s biggest game of the year came in the Bulldogs’ biggest game of the year up til this moment. After Mississippi State forced a final game of the Tallahassee Regional against Oklahoma, France came in and dealt against the Sooners.

Because of JP France’s 7 innings of dominant pitching against Oklahoma, MSU was able to beat the Sooners. And a performance like that shows how good he might be. The Houston Astros are probably hoping he can do more of that in his future. Houston selected France in the 14th round.
