JADEN HILL SIDELINED FOR REMAINDER OF SEASON DUE TO UCL INJURY

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU junior pitcher Jaden Hill will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2021 season due to a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow, coach Paul Mainieri said Monday.

Hill suffered the injury in Friday’s game versus Vanderbilt, and the diagnosis was confirmed Monday after team doctors conducted an examination of the elbow.

“It’s heartbreaking for all of us to receive this news,” Mainieri said, “but it’s especially disappointing for Jaden as a young man who has such a bright future in baseball. We will do everything we can to support Jaden in his return to full health. He has a tremendous work ethic, and I’m very confident he will overcome this setback.”

CPM still needs to be replaced.

So is it his (1) recruiting, his (2) coaching or his (3) player development that’s caused this precipitous FALL of the LSU BB Program?

Sorry I should have added in another option: (4) ALL OF THE ABOVE???

Why is it that every year it seems like LSU loses a star pitcher?

I mean it happens. But it seems like it happens a lot around here. I think alan dunn overworks them or they dont get enough rehab work in

He's extremely talented but sometimes people that have talent are just extremely injury prone. I hope he recovers and is able to stay healthy in the future. I hope he becomes a very wealthy and successful ball player. Prayers for ya, Jaden.

"You don’t actually watch or listen to any of his interviews do you?" Damn near impossible to listen to him as he is such a huuuge vagina.

Maybe not a good idea to say he’s blaming players for the season then if you haven’t paid attention, right?
