Chris Cotton is my favorite. He was a walk on. CPM was talking about him one night and how he had to buy his own practice pants and equipment. Came out as a walk on and slowly diced up a lot of their best hitters week after week before getting game time. And before his career ended, was one of the best closers in the SEC his last year.

"limited left-handed batters to a .100 average (6-for-60) on the year"

This is a great bio on him

Recent history bias ?

Louis Coleman in the closer role was as good of a relief pitcher as any LSU has ever trotted out there. dominant.

This pic shows Rick Greene after closing the game of our first National Championship in 1991.
Rick Greene On The Left In NC Pic

He led the SEC in 1991 with 21 saves and was drafted 16th overall in the first round of the 1992 MLB Draft.

This is a better pick of him: Rick Greene Pic 2

Good 1991 NC Article with Rick Greene Quotes

i think to make this list you need more than 6.2 career innings


Most folks might not realize that Chad Jones rarely practiced pitching due to being injured. That 6.2 innings was Mainieri squeezing every bit Jones had in him.

How about 6'7" Anthony Ranaudo?

Third in NCAA strikeouts in our 2009 CWS season.

39th overall pick in the 2010 draft by the Red Sox

You're arguing that Ranaudo is one of the best relievers in LSU history?
