re: LSU Baseball - 2014 Post Season Thread

My pants just got a little tighter.

Day 24: Junior #13 Brady Domangue



LSU Profile

Brady is yet another transfer from LSU Eunice, a junior college that seems to be a farm club for LSU. PM/Dunn knew they wanted Brady early, signing him in February of last year.

Day 25: Junior #33 Henri Faucheux



LSU Profile

Henri has made his way around college baseball starting with ULL as a freshmen, then Shelton State as a sophomore, and now at LSU for his Junior season. He's a LHP who tops out in the upper 80s on his FB with a big looping curve. He'll need to develop a strong change-up as a third pitch if he wants to max out his effectiveness.

Day 26: Junior #17 Jared Foster



LSU Profile

Jared has been Mr. Versatility. He came to LSU as a dual-sport athlete, a QB for football and an infielder for baseball. But he chose to stick to baseball after his first football season, and has played multiple positions in the infield and outfield. He hits for average and has one of the strongest arms on the team.

Day 29: Junior #2 Tyler Moore



LSU Profile

Tyler is a local product who's been able to play multiple positions, mainly 3B, 1B, and C. He's had some of the most clutch at bats the past two years as a Tiger. This year, he is likely to see more consistent playing time being PM's first choice behind the plate.

2013 Season:

---

Played in 48 games (20 starts), batting .281 (27-for-96) with nine doubles, one triple, 12 RBI and 12 runs … started 10 games at DH, six at first base, three at third base and one at catcher … batted .304 (7-for-23) in 14 SEC regular-season games with two doubles and two RBI … lined game-winning double in bottom of 8th inning of Game 1 in Super Regional vs. Oklahoma; the RBI gave Tigers a 1-0 lead in an eventual 2-0 victory … provided dramatic two-strike, two-out game-tying double in the top of the ninth inning in an SEC Tournament elimination game versus Alabama (May 24); LSU scored another run in the inning and went on to a 3-2 victory over the Crimson Tide … provided a key two-out, pinch-hit double that kept 16th inning alive at Alabama (April 20), allowing LSU to score three runs in 11-8 victory … 3-for-4 at Louisiana-Lafayette (Feb. 26) with one double, one triple, three RBI and one run scored.
