Monster News: Steven Milam To Return To LSU Next Season

LSU shortstop Steven Milam has reportedly withdrawn from the 2026 MLB Draft and will return to Baton Rouge for his senior season.

Milam's return gives the Tigers one of the most experienced and productive infielders in college baseball.

The Las Cruces, New Mexico, native has been a key piece of LSU's success since arriving on campus. After earning Freshman All-SEC honors in 2024, Milam helped the Tigers capture the 2025 national championship, earning a spot on the College World Series All-Tournament Team. Per NOLA.com:

Milam has pulled his name out of the draft and will be back at LSU for a fourth season. He hit 11 home runs with a .937 on-base plus slugging percentage this past year for the Tigers. He was even better in Southeastern Conference play, hitting .308 with a .949 OPS.

And defensively, Milam was invaluable. He only committed four errors as the lone bright spot on the Tigers’ infield.
