Hats Off To New Jersey’s Jarret De Hart!

LSU Freshman Jarret De Hart, of Medford, NJ, will be playing Outfield for the LSU Tigers baseball team this year. A 2013 graduate of Shawnee High School, and is also a left-hander, his second cousin is former LSU All-America pitcher Brett Laxton, who holds the College World Series championship game strikeouts record with 16 Ks versus Wichita State in 1993. Prior to attending LSU, Jarret was a 2013 Under Armour All-American, Rawlings All-American, and All-State selection. He was also a three-time First-Team All-Conference selection and a two-time First-Team All-County performer. He posted a .400 career batting average at Shawnee High School with 14 homers, 21 doubles, 72 RBI, 83 runs, 70 walks and 56 stolen bases. And he holds career school records for runs, stolen bases, doubles and walks. During his senior season, he hit .394 with four homers, 10 doubles, two triples and a school-record 21 stolen bases. In the classroom, Jarret is majoring in finance. All of the LSU faithful from New Jersey are proud of this fine young man and wish him the best of success on and off the diamond.
