A few LSU commits have been named to the two big time national all star games, Under Armour (in Wrigley) and Perfect Game (in Petco).

Mason Doolittle (C - Jupiter, FL) is the only LSU commit in the UA game. Here is a feature on him from Baseball Factory: LINK

Three LSU commits are playing in the Perfect Game All Star Game: Blayne Enlow (P - St. Amant), Jacob Pearson (OF - West Monroe), and Nick Storz (P/DH - Brooklyn). Here are the rosters: LINK

Some Draft Signing Deadline housekeeping:

LSU had five 2016 signees in the Baseball America Top 500 that did not sign with a pro team. Only two of them were actually drafted. Here is the list of players and their rankings:

150 - Todd Peterson
167 - Zack Hess*
293 - Josh Smith*
306 - Zach Watson
385 - Will Reese

Additionally, Jake Slaughter was drafted and did not sign. (Hunter Kiel was as well, but I'm just talking HS guys right now)

One thing to remember is that the Top 500 is not just HS players. It's all draft eligible players. Overall, 127 High School players that were on the list did not sign pro contracts. So let's all please remember that every time another kid commits and someone has the urge to say "he'll never step on campus."

Here are all 127 and where they are going: LINK

One guy on the list is Simon Landry from Ponchatoula. He's heading to Pearl River CC. May be a guy to watch in a couple years if we're looking for a big JUCO bat at 1B. I know of no contact between him and the staff, just a local guy so I mentioned him.

I also updated the earlier post about the Area Code Games as some more teams have been announced.
