re: LSU Baseball 2018 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread *Old Thread*

Saul Garza signed his LOI a couple weeks ago. According to this article he seems pretty locked in on being at LSU. LINK He was a Cardinals draft pick out of high school, but chose to go to JUCO. He's crushing the ball. Double digit home runs, hitting close to .400. He still strikes out a bit more than you'd like, but that has improved over the course of his freshman season.

Garza will be coming in as a sophomore, just like Brock Mathis from NW Florida St. Garza is 6'3" and has played some 1B. If the bat makes the jump to the D1 level, he could be a 1B candidate when he's not catching. He seems to be an insurance policy in case CJ Willis goes pro since they are both big C/1B types.
