Ole Miss baseball standout Judd Utermark is set to bring his trademark pink bat, nicknamed "Miami Beach," into the spotlight as the Rebels gear up for the NCAA super regionals against Auburn.
The Pink Symbol of a Season
The bat, officially called the MAV1, comes in three distinct colorways — camo, gray, and the vivid pink that Utermark has christened "Miami Beach." Since first wielding the MAV1 in 2025, the bat has been a constant companion during his most prolific stretch on the diamond.
A Record‑Breaking Journey
That season coincided with a career‑defining surge, culminating in Utermark shattering Ole Miss' all‑time home run record with 50 career homers. He added 22 homers in 2025 and is already at 21 this year, underscoring the bat's correlation with his power surge.
Super Regional Showdown
The Rebels will meet Auburn on June 5 at 7 p.m., a matchup that will stream live on ESPN2. The game marks the next chapter in Utermark's story, as the pink barrel of "Miami Beach" seeks to add another defining moment to a season that has already rewritten the program's record books.
Beyond the statistics, the bat has become a cultural touchstone for the team, symbolizing resilience and the bold spirit that defines this Ole Miss squad. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether the pink emblem can continue its winning streak against a formidable Auburn pitching staff.
