re: LSU Baseball 2024 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread OLD THREAD

Anderson
Primeaux
Herring (Maybe)

Who am I missing currently?

Another lefty to monitor

LHP Preston Prince, Niagara

6.10, 38 IP, 36 H, 42 BB (yikes), 33K, 2.035 WHIP

His freshman year he walked 23 in 13 innings.

Don’t see him as a major player but just reporting the facts

You're not missing anyone. Anderson and Primeaux are the only 2 lefties for sure for next season. Gotta get a couple of non draft eligible ones, in my opinion. I'd like a non draft eligible catcher and infielder too.

What a swing…from 10 or 11 to 2.

Board is quiet.. too quiet..

Technically 9 to 2. Brown was the 10th and is the 3rd. I just don't really see him pitching though. He's gonna be one of the main hitters.

I think he's open to it but it has to be a perfect storm. So far the candidates have all been too valuable/needed on 1 side and/or can't earn playing time on 1 side.
