Hey 357. Since you keep up with the travel ball stuff I was wondering if you have ever heard of a 13 year old girl from Plaquemine named Charlie Neumann. Her mother is my wife’s (no pics) niece. Her mother said they were at some kind of event this past weekend and supposedly they had some coaches there from different schools. They were wondering who she was and someone told them she was only 13. What ever the event was this weekend it sounds like it was some kind of showcase for for girls 17 & 18. Just curious if her mother is telling the real truth. She hit 6 home runs this weekend at that event

Thanks. I was just curious.

Hey now that the 2022 class is signed and seems like recruiting for the 2023 is winding down, what is the overall feeling on the quality of the 2023 recruiting class?

Any gaps? Misses?

Gotta hand it to Beth if anything she knows pitching. She sure as hell can’t field a decent hitting team

I will say this, if we want to win a SEC title or make it back to OKC we gotta get better as a whole offensively. I watched many top tier pitching staffs get runs put up on them this post season. Consistently blanking teams to 2 runs or less as you progress through post season is very difficult for any team.

We can’t have near half the lineup hitting near/ sub .250. Some of the averages can definitely be attributed to a tougher schedule but at the same time at some point you have to be able to put up runs verses better teams. Our last two super regionals have highlighted where LSU has to get much better in. We can’t always expect our pitchers to win games 1-0 or 2-1.

We have some talented players. As a whole we probably have to get better with developing our hitters and look into the mirror as to why we are seeing some kids regress (Sunseri is a big one).

LSU is going to need players to step up offensively with the losses of Andrews and Doyle. We are going to need to count on other kids to deliver outside of Briggs and Pleasants, if not teams will walk or pitch around them. There is a lot of talent and depth, hopefully we utilize it this year to build a more well rounded lineup. The pitching should be terrific this year

LSU lands top Georgia prospect Savanna Bedell, was named a HS All American as a sophomore! That is a great grab after not getting Henry.



Ranked #9 by EI and #32 by SA

Heres a couple highlights of her

Class of 2023! She has a really nice short compact swing with a lot of power

Anyone have seen anything to know any lineup predictions? I heard the freshmen Brandon and Redoutey have both been raking. From the look of things, we will have a Lefty heavy lineup with Briggs, Pleasants, Brandon, Redoutey, Pilon, Coffey, and Gutierrez ALL getting looks to start.
