Gonzaga Baseball Loses Big Pieces as Mikey Bell, Landon Hood Enter Transfer Portal

After suddenly bowing out of contention for an NCAA postseason spot following their 0-2 showing at the WCC tournament, Gonzaga baseball has received even more tough news in the early stages of its offseason.

Third baseman Mikey Bell and right-handed pitcher Landon Hood have each entered the transfer portal, leaving sizable voids on the Zags’ roster in their wake. Both of them are coming off award-winning campaigns for their individual performances in Spokane, but the next year of their baseball lives will be played elsewhere.

The two are in different stages as collegiate athletes. Bell will be a redshirt senior in 2027 after playing one season at Cuesta Community College before winning back-to-back West Coast Player of the Year awards as a Bulldog. Hood, on the other hand, graduated from Canyon Year High School a year ago and took home WCC Freshman of the Year honors. He is now looking for the best destination for his development as a rising arm with growing intrigue in a future MLB Draft, entering the portal with a “do not contact" tag.
