Most of those guys who made it to mlb are or were not ss.


That’s generally the case with college shortstops, not unique to LSU. The guys that project to stay there out of high school generally get paid a lot of money out of high school. The others get paid a lot of money at age 16 in whatever Caribbean country they reside.

Blake Gill


Least productive.300 hitter I ever saw. Always seemed like all of his hits were 2-out singles in the 9th with nobody on. With either a big lead or a big deficit.

Nola as a catcher

I thought Jason Williams got a call up

Jason Williams


One of the most clutch hitters in LSU history.

He was on deck when Morris hit the HR. I wasn’t worried, because I was confident that if Morris could just get on, we’d still win it.

DJ LeMahieu played 15 friggin years in MLB and was batting champ at least once, correct? I mean, he might actually be the most successful Tiger baseball player ever (will see if Skenes becomes that). Would Albert (Joey) Belle be considered the best Tiger in MLB?
I still consider Belle the best pro to ever come out of LSU. Dude was definitely one of the faces of the 90’s in the MLB.

DJ had 2 or 3 great hitting seasons, but overall Belle was the better hitter in average, on-base, and slugging over his career.

Career OPS for Belle was 0.933 (1st for LSU MLB players by a large margin over Hawpe at 0.845, and DJ was only 0.759 (8th for LSU MLB players).
