Chance Selected To SEC Community Service Team
May 13, 2026 | Baseball
STARKVILLE – For the second straight week, Bryce Chance's charitable contributions have been recognized.
A week after being named to the Tony Gwynn Community Service Trophy Starting 9, the Mississippi State outfielder was selected to be the Bulldogs' representative on the Southeastern Conference's Community Service Team.
Chance has regularly volunteered his time with both the Miracle and Challenger Baseball Leagues in the greater Golden Triangle area for the past four years. The Miracle and Challenger Leagues provide avenues for children and adults with special needs with an avenue to play baseball, and Chance has been instrumental in assisting with camps and games.
This cause is near and dear to Chance.
His older brother, Brooks, is autistic and is an active participant in the games that Chance volunteers at along with his Mississippi State teammates.
In addition to the Miracle and Challenger Leagues, Chance has also volunteered his time with the local Salvation Army and makes annual visits to Batson's Children's Hospital in Jackson.
The graduate from Ridgeland has started 51 of 52 games this year and is currently second in the SEC with 18 doubles, third in batting average (.371) and tops MSU with 12 steals. He has only struck out 14 times all season. In SEC play, he's batting .369 with two grand slams and has only fanned 10 times in 117 plate appearances.
