re: LSU Baseball 2025 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread

Usually we just concentrate on the top 10 rounds, but with Baltimore it doesn't matter where they get picked in the draft. Just hope not to see any LSU recruits called when Baltimore is picking.

Good story on Taylor, really long though.

Anyhow, for those that don't want to read:

- learned from Wes Johnson and others at Georgia but his growth was stunted by lack of use

- dominating in summer ball

- played for very good HS program and shined

- wants opportunity to show what he has (presumably a rotation spot)

- throws in mid to high 90s with movement and command of multiple pitches

- best friend is a current Ole Miss commit

Really, really would like to see LSU land this guy.

I bet once the draft is over and Jay sees we won’t get shores back. We’ll land him

Definitely seems like losing 7 signees (4 hitters, 3 pitchers) is the break event point.

I respect your baseball post because you know your shite. People don't understand that if Frey comes back he is costing his self adleast $250k if not more. Even if he comes back and has one of the best gloves in LSU history its still gonna cost him alot money. I hate the way mlb teams do seniors in college. I really wish each draft slot was the same no matter your classifaction. I believe it would impprove the college game.

You need to just get your slot-- no higher, no lower. I'm not sure why that is so difficult...

One thing about that - if you get invited to the mlb combine, which is about 300 players, and submit to a physical, you get 75% minimum of slot value. So they can still completely jam seniors that aren’t in the combine but it seems like Frey with a good year would be able to get at least 75% of slot value.

Now I’m not sure if they intentionally don’t invite seniors so they can screw them but Frey with a good year would deserve a combine invite for sure.

Also, the combine does take place during the CWS, but there is a supplemental event.

I spoke with Chase before the season in January as part of an NIL deal. He's a good dude, but I think he's accomplished what he wants at LSU. I'd be hardpressed seeing him pass up a good offer. I'd put it at 5%.
