Dean, who played at LSU from 2007-10, was one of the all-time best hitters in Fighting Tiger history, finishing No. 2 on the school career total bases list (575), No. 2 on the all-time LSU RBI list (260), No. 2 in career hits (332), No. 3 in career doubles (63), No. 4 in home runs (56) and No. 5 in runs scored (223).


Personally I loved Dean... I also loved watching Walker, Furniss, Cresse, and others... but where does Dean rank among all of LSU baseball players?


McDonald/Walker seem to be #1 on any list

You don't get many like him to stay for 4 years. He and Katz were a special pair. Definitely deserves to be on any all-time list.

Not in my top 10, but I'd say top 20 for sure.

Are we talking all players of just hitters? Because if it's all players he might not make the top 10.

Seemed like he was always able to come up with the clutch hit when we needed a run and we had a runner in scoring position.

the grand slam he hit vs the Gumps in the Saturday game in Hoover in '08 was unbelievable. The LSU fans just exploded.

Top 20 probably. His stats are skewed by playing 4 years. Nothing special in the field is what killed his career. But a great hitter.

Not very high. Certainly not in the top 20. He was very lazy. And he couldn't play a position.

Good player but the bats really helped him out in that era. I'm not so sure he would be nearly as highly thought of in the post 2010 era.
