Have we ever had SS/P at LSU?

There are very few of these at this level. Coaches really don’t like moving their SS. They’ll do it if forced, but if Guidry wins the SS job, they’re gonna give everybody else a chance to secure all the pen roles.

Especially closer. Think about how many long throws a SS makes throughout a game. Not just the 2-4 they probably average to 1st on actual plays, but all the throws over there between innings. I just don’t think bringing a guy in who’s been on his feet for 3 hours and has thrown 25+ times from short to 1st is ideal as late inning guy. And he still has to hit and run bases if the game doesn’t end when he’s done.
