while taking recruits & families on a tour of the facilities, there were 9 former ball players working out, the most he's ever seen as one group.

Many LSU baseball fans may not know that former LSU baseball players who are now playing in the pros have their own private locker room in the strength and conditioning/batting practice/pitchers clinic facility beyond the right field bleachers.

They are free to use the workout equipment including the weight machines, cardio machines & free weights as well as the batting practice pitching machines and the "Aaron Nola Pitching Clinic" cameras and velo radar.

The last time I walked through that building, which was over a year ago, some of the name tags above players lockers included Alex Bregman, both Nolas, Kevin Gauzman, Josh Smith and a few more players whose names escape me. They are free to come and go as they please during the off season and prior to starting Spring training.

Imagine a prospective recruit going through the facility and the LSU recruiter tells him, "Yeah, these guys come here and work out when they want to. Maybe you'd like to do that one day when you're playing professional baseball?"

"Where do I sign, Coach?!?"
