From a draft perspective, things went according to script for LSU, as outfielder Daniel Cabrera and righthander Cole Henry were selected. However, even with those departures, plus a handful more signing as free agents or transferring, the Tigers should compete at the top of the SEC, thanks in large part to a pitching staff led by righthanders Jaden Hill, Landon Marceaux and A.J. Labas.
