His grandfather is a physics professor at LSU.

That ceiling is in place because Norman, like all of his fellow LSU recruiting class brethren, is armed with a talented set of tools.

His delivery is described as 'funky' by Bagwell and deceptive by Norman.

That unique style, coupled with velocity consistently in the low 90-mph range, a solid breaking pitch, a plus changeup and a knack for locating well added up to Norman's dominant senior season: 9-1 with a save, an 0.78 ERA, .152 opponent batting average, 94 strikeouts and only 14 walks in 63 innings. He started 11 games, completed five of the last six and surrendered 2 hits or fewer in five of his extended outings.

How long does it take for this class to make us a serious Omaha Threat?


Is next season to early?

First year

LSU brings back a ton on offense. As long as LSU can get solid pitching from the nucleus of returning pitchers things start to look very bright in the near future.

LSU should be a threat to make Omaha every year.

You're welcome.

Tell 'the family' that Randy Rosetta of nola.com writes about LSU baseball all year not just during baseball season. It's the only reason I bookmark nola.com and go to their website frequently.

I can't wait for Fall Ball to get a look at his 'funky' motion.
