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

I wonder if Masa Chilcutt is one of them. He’s a 2024.

ETA: he’s a 2025 I was wrong

Would make sense incase Omar Serna doesn’t make it to campus.

I think he was mentioned yesterday as someone that may enter. We aren't connected and I doubt we will be but...

A prodigious contact hitter, Kepley boasts elite bat-to-ball skills in just about every scenario. Whether it be in-zone, out-of-zone, high velocity or big spin breaking balls, Kepley dwarfs his peers with regards to the ability to put bat to ball. Kepley is a plus runner who figures to steal some bags at the next level and should roam left field at a high level. There's not a ton of raw power to speak of coming out of the 5-foot-8-inch frame, but Kepley will make his money at the next level as a fourth outfielder or table-setter. The ceiling might not be tremendously high here, but the floor is awfully generous.

No. I would imagine we are set at OF and will not be serious players for him.

ETA: Unless Stanfield goes in the draft.

Does anyone know the signing deadline for those drafted? I searched with no luck.

MLB.com came out with their latest mock draft yesterday going into the final days before the draft.

Konnor Griffin: 1.11 (Tigers)
Cam Caminiti: 1.13 (Giants)
Tommy White: 1.27 (Phillies)
William Schmidt: 1.36 (Guardians)

William Schmidt in the last 3 weeks of mock drafts has been linked with the Dodgers at 23rd overall pick. This latest mock says the Dodgers seem to be shifting their focus to HS SS now. This dropped William Schmidt down to the 36 overall pick with the Guardians. Note that the Guardians are trying to take a 1 overall pick that will not take the full slot value so this would free up money for them to get to Schmidt's number. That slot value is at 2.5 mil so if Schmidt wants 3 mil or just north of that then the Guardians will likely be able to get to that with savings from the 1 overall pick.
