Judd Utermark sets Ole Miss career home run record
There is a new home run king at Ole Miss for the first time in 39 years.
Judd Utermark hit is 20th home run of the season – and 49th of his career – on Tuesday against UT Martin to surpass Kyle Gordon’s previous record of 48 that lasted since 1987. He took the first pitch of his at-bat in the first inning 383 feet to left field.
The bulk of Utermark’s home runs have come in these last two seasons, hitting 22 in 2025 . He hit a combined seven home runs in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He is also the only Ole Miss player to have multiple seasons with 20-plus home runs.
Utermark tied Gordon on May 3 with a home run in the series finale at Arkansas, but then sat on the mark for three games.
