Lack of stars in MLB from LSU

Smoke let the pipeline break down for a while, so the number of LSU players in the majors has ebbed temporarily, but remember that it usually takes a while for people to work their way up, so the number should rise again relatively soon.

Because there are too many fricking foreigners in baseball. Call me racist, but it's the truth. South America needs to create their own league.

America's game? That's what I was told it was. They should at least be citizens.

With Mahtook and Mitchell coming up quickly, we should have a few more up there shortly.

I guess the same question could be asked for football too.

No, the same question could not be asked for football. LSU has the 3rd highest amount of NFL players behind USC and Cal.

Because college play is not required and the best players are typically drafted out of high school.

This is easily answered. Only the best of the very best make it to profession baseballs pinnacle. College baseball is okay, but the league in the Dominican Republic and South America as well as the Minor Leagues has some incredible baseball players as well. Not to mention that many of the mega talented are drafted straight from high school. Many of the stars we see at LSU have to then navigate the Minor League system where there is a backlog of talent. Many quit to get on with their lives rather than run this gauntlet. Minor League baseball is where most college baseball stars dreams go to die.
