Tyler Moore Fr.*
Grant Dozar Sr.

Another local talent from the greater Baton Rouge area will begin his career as an LSU Tiger later this month with high expectations. His name is Tyler Moore, a catcher from Dunham high school, Moore hit an outstanding .561 BA with 15 HR’s in his senior campaign. While the 1st base position has yet to be settled whether or not Mainieri keep Katz in RF or 1B, I however am sold on Moore’s ability to play the position right away. If Katz remains in right field Moore will most likely become the only left-handed bat in the starting lineup since the 2010 season. Moore’s frame will allow him to play anywhere on the corner infield positions as well as catcher for LSU. While Tyler still must get accustomed to 1st base he has all the necessary tools to be a successful three to four year starter. Moore, a natural catcher, has a very accurate arm and displays average speed for his position. Tyler's success at the plate could be vital in LSU's run towards a western crown. Grant Dozar will continue to be that viable leader on and off the field as he will be used in the platoon role in key situations late in the game. Also, don’t be surprised to see Dozar get numerous at bats if a certain player starts slumping, he may be LSU’s most important bench player in the upcoming season.
