For the third straight year, the Tigers landed a top-10 recruiting class, as they brought in five players from the BA 500. The group features power righthanders and an athletic bunch of position players, adding more premium talent to what was already expected to be one of the best teams in the nation this spring. Smith leads the position players and has a chance to immediately seize one of the few open spots in LSU’s lineup. He profiles as a top-of-the-order hitter with a smooth lefthanded swing and above-average speed. He has all the tools necessary to play shortstop, but with senior Kramer Robertson back for LSU, Smith may start his career at third base. Slaughter, an athletic infielder with NFL bloodlines, has the best power of the newcomers and profiles well at third base or as an offensive second baseman. Watson is a plus-plus runner with the versatility to play several positions defensively, while Coomes, a junior college all-American, is a potential instant-impact middle-of-the-order bat. LSU added several high-end pitchers, and Hess and Peterson have both touched 96 mph with their fastballs. Hess is the more advanced of the pair, but both have the pitchability to start during their college careers. Kiel showed even more velocity last spring at Pensacola JC, touching 98 mph. His fastball-curveball combination plays well in the bullpen and he profiles best as a power reliever. Reese was a star basketball player who had offers to play in college, but is now solely focused on pitching for the first time. He offers significant upside thanks to his size, athleticism and his rawness. Beck and Walker are both former high school quarterbacks who show good strike throwing ability that gives them a chance to compete for innings right away.
