Returning Starters: (2016 Avg.)

Duplantis - (.327) as a freshman, who i assume will be moved to CF
Beau Jordan -(.286), LF
RF - TBD
Reid - (.286) as a freshman, 3B
Robertson - (.324) SS, preseason All-American
Freeman - (.329), 2B
Deichmann - (.288), 1B, finished 2016 on a tear. Has scary power to both sides of the field
Papierski - (.242), C, can get on hot streaks, above average defensive catcher.
Romero - (.297), C/DH, he and deichmann have the most power on the team

Other notables:
Bryce Jordan - (.293), can play anywhere you put him, can also step up big when we need him to.

Pitchers -

Jared Poche - returning for his senior year. Seasoned vet.
Alex Lange - 1st team all-american as Freshman, preseason 1st team all-american in 2017, best pitcher in the country.
Hunter Newman - most reliable guy out of bullpen.

Last year our biggest issue was experience, and it showed early on. We got better as the year went on because our young guys became battle-tested. This year those young guys are in a perfect spot to lead us to Omaha. Alex Lange is the favorite for the #1 overall draft pick. GEAUX TIGERS!

Lochridge - out most of last season with injury. Could step up big this year.

Two freshmen who will push for playing time....Smith and Slaughter, are studs.

I thought our biggest issue last year was depth at pitcher. We had a couple studs, then a big drop off.

the name is escaping me, but who is the lefty we waited on for over a year, he came in sparingly at the end of the year, and then transferred right when the season ended.

what was the reason he left like that with the potential to start this year? felt the staff mistreated him during recovery or something? just curious.

Deichmann is moving to right field. If only Romero could play 1st base.....

I guess Bryce has the inside track to take over there.

Really hope they pick, develop, and stick with a Sunday starter. That's been our achilles heel for years.

The biggest issue is starting pitching and bullpen. If they can find 3 starters and maybe one reliable mid week guy they'll go far.

LSU story has been 2 good pitchers and one spot reliever the past few years.

We will see what happens
