LSU baseball roster size
Posted on 4/9/25 at 3:35 pm

Apparently next year college baseball has to lower active players from 40 to 34. If true, who on the team do you let go?

The ones with the worse stats. Ez pz!

Probably the seniors and the guys who get drafted, and the guys who decide to transfer.

nothing official yet but yes it will be a smaller roster size and you won't be able to have a large fall roster you have to cut down
the question will be whether they grandfather in current players to avoid mass attrition across country
no sense in speculating until after you get through draft and portal madness and see how it all shakes out
lsu like everyone else will have some players hit portal and some are obvious

Will need 2-4 two way players. Will need kids that can play the field and able to pitch.

How many players are you allowed for SEC games? 26? 27?

It's a dumb rule. Pretty soon it'll be a dozen players on roster sharing 1.25 total scholarships.
With all the free for all transfers I think it will mean coaches will be less likely to take a gamble/project type player and only focus on relatively known commodities. Guys like Meyers probably don't make the roster. Potential to lose more guys to the draft too if you're a guy like cam Johnson with a lot of upside but needing a lot of work to become productive. Might as well take the money than to be shuffled around and processed because a coach needs guys who can throw strikes now, not next year. Could be good for smaller colleges though.

No they won’t
You can cut 6 players most years with the current setup and you’d never know

It's 2025 and LSU on a mission.

Agree. Pre Covid, rosters were limited to 35 with 27 players on scholarship. Now, more scholarships will be available to the 34 players.

Jay has said multiple times how much he likes the new roster rule.
I trust his judgment since he is the expert.

If there’s anyone that can navigate it it’s Jay
I feel much more comfortable then the previous coach

It’s pretty much a done deal. 38 man roster for the fall and 34 man rosters for the spring 2026 season.

According to the lawsuit in place you will be able to offer all 34 players a scolarship.

Well of course the seniors numb nuts.

You asked a stupid question. I intentionally gave you a stupid answer to mock your stupid question.

Nah... it would help but not needed. MLB has 26-man rosters and they play 100 more games.

And those 27 players shared 11.7 scholarships. Baseball hardly if ever offers full scholarships to a player.
