LSU Baseball: A Look at the 2015 Team (Updated again, because I can)

Next season the story is going to be depth. Because for the first time in many years, we will have it. And not just pitching, we will have loads of guys that can play all over the diamond.

Not coming to LSU:

Bobby Bradley

All the rest have a really good shot at coming to LSU, especially with Diechmann going all Alex Bregman on the MLB draft today.

Brother Martin's Greg Deichmann is headed to LSU. Diechmann told MLB scouts he will not sign. Dad says "his heart is at LSU." #wgnosports

Chris Sciambra – Final season in Purple and Gold
Jared Foster – Best arm on the field, has been for two years

Danny Zardon

Pitching
Jared Poche – Outstanding Freshman campaign
