Don't forget possibly Javen Coleman and/or Riley Cooper as well. We are definitely stacked with lefties.

Coleman is most likely returning I still think Cooper gets picked up at some point and he has made it clear that he wants to sign and start his professional career so I wouldn't expect him back.

Forgot about Coleman. I didn't add Cooper because of his comments about wanting to go, but he could be back if not drafted.

We carried 22 pitchers last year including the injury guys.

1. Gavin Guidry
2. Ty Floyd
3. Nic Bronzini
4. Sam Dutton
5. Paul Skenes
6. Bryce Collins
7. Thatcher Hurd
8. Jaden Noot
9. Micah Bucknam
10. Nate Ackenhausen
11. Aiden Moffett
12. Chase Shores
13. Griffin Herring
14. Riley Cooper
15. DJ Primeaux
16. Garrett Edwards
17. Blake Money
18. Kaleb Applebey
19. Will Hellmers
20. Javen Coleman
21. Grant Taylor
22. Christian Little

You know how they say, if you're drafted in rounds 1-10, don't expect the player to head to college? Almost the same can be said for rounds 11-16/17. For reference:

In 2022 draft, for rounds 1-10, only 3 players didn't sign pro contracts (2 in round 3 and 1 in round 10). That's well over a 99% sign rate.

For the remaining rounds:
Round 11: 29/30 signed (97%)
Round 12: 28/30 signed (93%)
Round 13: 27/30 signed (90%)
Round 14: 28/30 signed (93%)
Round 15: 27/30 signed (90%)
Round 16: 27/30 signed (90%)
Round 17: 25/30 signed (83%)
Round 18: 21/30 signed (70%)
Round 19: 18/30 signed (60%)
Round 20: 19/30 signed (63%)

LSU is not out of the woods by any stretch on draft eligible players and signees.

Typically you can expect 18-20 pitchers on a roster come opening day.

Not many realize that since they shortened the draft, mlb teams need these players to fill out minor league rosters and teams will always be desperate for pitching

If you are 1 of 20 players in a 20 round draft getting a shot at a MLB chance, majority are taking that shot especially if they agree to be drafted.

Is there anyway to quickly figure out the most money someone has got in rounds 11-20? Like has anyone gotten 2 mil or more?

Last year, 3 players were paid more than $1.0mil from Rounds 11-20. Out of 299 draft picks.

$1.5 was the biggest bonus.


A few kid will get 2nd round money, and a few kids will get 4-5th Rd money, but most of these guys will get $150k or so.


86% of the players picked in Rds 5-20 last year were college players. And that has been the general trend since they swtiched the format.

I agree but it could be a negotiating tactic and still get to a number he’s happy with.

The 3 million+ signings last year were $1,497,500 (11th round), $1,256,530 (11th round), and $1,325,000 (17th round). I think a team can get close or to the $2M mark, but it’d have to be the right team under the perfect conditions with a large pool and multiple, significant under slot signees.
