Isn't that before the pitch clock? LSU has had some pitchers that looked to "ready set go" when they're out there.

No. Delay can be called both ways. If the batter isn’t set and ready by the time the clock runs out, it’s an automatic strike. If the hitter is taking too long, it’s more advantageous for the pitcher to let him. Quick pitching is attempting to sneak one by the hitter before he’s had a chance to get set in his stance and ready for the pitch. Nothing to do with the clock.

What you’re seeing is LSU pitchers taking the responsibility for the pitch clock off of them and putting it on the hitter.
