Yes. He walked once and hit a homer.

Yes, Kurland took him deep

To be fair to Guidry, everyone homered for Florida that day. Nutty winds

Actually, I think it was a meaningless leadoff homer in the 8th of game 3 when we were comfortably ahead. Guidry cruised from there.

Gavin Guidry threw the final out in a CWS final and is forever etched in LSU lore. He's an undersized pitcher who gave up his pro ambitions as a MIF to help win a CWS for his team on the mound with a weak bullpen and did so. He overachieved relative to his talent and is a good teammate who Jay took to Omaha last year despite being hurt. This guy is as LSU as it gets and I can't understand the hate. He has completely outperformed his talent yet yall are upset that he's not better. He's all LSU and I wish we had more of that throughout this school

He also had a great 2024 season, then got hurt. He was bad this year, but this idea the rant has formed that "all he did was get 3 outs in Omaha" has always been stupid.

Wrong game.

Agree with everything else you said about Gavin. Great kid, great baseball player and started pitching at LSU to get on the field more quickly. I always thought he would go back to INF but he didn't.
But don't undersell his pitching potential coming out of HS as he was 8-0 for Barbe against very good competition. Had an ERA almost ZERO and was dominant. Also was Gatorade POY in Louisiana his SR year, partly for his pitching accomplishments.
Only love for GG from here as I have loved seeing him play for LSU and he is indeed P&G to the core.

Pro ambitions? Lol

You don't think FR Gavin Guidry came to LSU wanting to play MIF thinking he had a chance to get drafted?

Well he wouldve been a high draft pick and on a minor league roster within a few months of graduating high school. By any definition I believe that qualifies.

I think he did, but it quickly became apparent that he could not hit college pitching, and that was the end of his MIF pro aspirations.

AKA the coach saying you’ll never get on the field here as a position player because you can’t hit college pitching lol
And I’m a Guidry guy. We don’t have to make up narratives to prop him up, though.

Guidry took multiple stabs at playing infield and couldn't touch the field because he couldn't hit.....at all.
It's ok to like Guidry, but when you have to make stuff up to try to prove your point it ends up proving others point more.

I can't know for sure but I doubt he would've given up on himself as a hitter just a couple months into his FR year. Maybe it was for selfish reasons or maybe it was to help the team, prob a bit of both, but im gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. But regardless of the reasoning, the outcome is clear: he made a position switch that benefitted the team and directly contributed to a CWS championship. He takes a ton of hate from the rant for no real justified reason. He was never a high upside guy and as I mentioned before, he outplayed his talent and some of you are still upset that he wasn't better

Preach it. There's a lot of horribly imperfect people on this board expecting LSU athletes to be perfect all the time - especially our own young men from LA.
