re: Why didn't LSU greats like Brandon Larson, Eddy Furniss, etc. make more noise in MLB?

Like others have said the wood bats are a huge difference, especially back when Furniss and Lason played. Also, the pitching talent was pretty watered down in college back then. You would have some stud college pitchers but not nearly the number solid arms on college rosters today. Kids with good arm talent were going pro out of HS then. Now we’re seeing more talented kids opt for college ball to work on their game versus heading to the minors.
