You don't like it and I get that. However, it's worked, as evidenced by LSU's lead-off hitter only having 2 fewer RBI than the 3 hole. Not to mention the 2 hole, which traditionally is used to move runners, not score them, having 30+ RBi as well.
Guess what. You can get the same effect by, wait for it, having that guy bat ahead of your RBI producers. He gets more ABs and everyone drives in more runs. That's how lineup construction works.
They've run the numbers. "Second leadoff" (which doesn't even make sense as a term) is complete bullshite.

You put Freeman in the 8 hole and they pitch around him to get to Pap, rather than pitching to him to try and avoid Duplantis with runners on.
That, actually, is how lineup construction works.
