Aaron Nola is almost finished with his LSU career and what a great one it was. (He isn't coming back for a senior season no matter how bad we want him to)

I put together this spreadsheet of some of the all time best career pitchers in LSU history. The only problem is some of the earlier pitchers have stats that are nearly impossible to find.

Guys like:
Bruce Baudier, Pat Moock, and Randy Wiles

Who was your favorite? Why? Did I miss anyone?

*Updated*

LSU Pitching Career Records

Innings Pitched
Lane Mestepey - 480

Strikeouts
Scott Schultz - 409

Lane Mestepey - 68

Shutouts
Randy Wiles - 7

Complete Games
Pat Moock - 27

ERA
Bruce Baudier - 1.70

Fewest Hits Allowed Per 9 IP
Barry Manuel - 5.33

Fewest Walks Allowed Per 9 IP
Chris Cotton - 1.13

Most Strikeouts Per 9 IP

Correction on Lane Mestepey's Stats, he was at LSU four seasons.

Louis Coleman is my favorite. If he doesn't come back for his senior season in 2009, no championship.

I don't remember his time here, but he had the best individual season of any LSU pitcher.

Good to see my old central podnuh get some love. He's a great guy, too.

Mestepey pitched 4 seasons. Though that 4th one is pretty forgettable

Who knew throwing 250 pitches a game could be bad for an arm.

Not saying he is one of the best all-time but Trey Hodges was a good one. Outstanding player of 2000 CWS.
