Jared Jones also led the team in OBP, SLG, OPS, 2B, HR, and BB (by 25). And tied for 3rd in 3B because why not lol.

Definitely a bit of championship hangover for some returning players, some bad luck, and some flat out bad play at times. Despite that, we were a couple pitches from hosting a super.
And I believe Jay is the best college baseball coach in america that’s about to go on an ungodly rampage in recruiting and the portal. I have zero doubt this program is in the best hands possible.
On to 2025.
LSU might lose all or most of Tommy White, Travinski, Jared Jones, Milazzo, Luke Holman, Gage Jump, Thatcher Hurd, and Griffin Herring. They need a stacked class out of the portal.

FYI Jones struck out 1 out of every 3 ABs this season Fact
So, did you accidentally filter out walks/HBPs from your argument or is that just further proof that you don’t actually know baseball?
Yes, you are correct. Jones had 75 Ks in 227 official at bats. But, that 1 in 3 number changes quite a bit when you realize that he had 290 plate appearances. The more important number for a power hitter would be something like OPS. His was 1.184 which was 7th best in the SEC. If you are really that concerned about the Ks, I’d encourage you to go look at the strike out leaders amongst the conference and you’ll see some fairly recognizable names around his.

Hindsight is 20/20. Hell I was excited about going to Jump in that situation, with just about everyone.
It probably was the best call make, just a fluke blooper screwed us.

Just recruit someone who can catch a fly ball
There’s always an a-hole lurking the boards that just can’t wait to jump in every thread & shite on a kid.
BTW: That same “Kid” was the reason LSU had the lead. It wasn’t an easy “can of corn” fly ball catch either.

I don’t think we want Brady Neal as the starting catcher next season.
I think you’re wrong about Neal. When healthy he’s been really good & JJ obviously loves him considering he’s made him the starting catcher ahead of 2 seniors that could start at a lot of other programs.

Didn’t LSU lose a regional in 2022 (USM) & then CJJ went out & grabbed possibly the Best Ace thats ever pitched at LSU?
I suppose Skenes doesn’t count as an ACE to you, huh expert?

O’Sullivan and Van Horn are great recruiters and program builders with consistent high level performance too.
LOL, Van Horn's boys aren't going anywhere after getting beat out at as a top 5 host with the best starting pitcher in baseball? Where are his Natties after how long at Arkie?? They didn't do sit in the SEC tournament either. You just have some dumb arse misplaced axe to grind with JJ.

You’ll never find it as it’s pretty obvious they like to keep that stuff pretty private. Much like every school. You’ll hear about A&M paying a recruiting class $30M, or Tenneaeee paying a QB 8 figures, etc.
Byt I’ve never heard anyone on the record that is one of the direct parties speak about any of it or show contacts or documentation. It’s all hearsay but it’s not hard to follow the smoke and make some pretty easy conclusions.
Keep running your mouth, you don't know shite.

Can you read? I said ABs, not plate appearances.
He still failed to put the ball in play a lot against competent pitching and looked absolutely fooled against top level pitching
He did finish well but a lot of that production was against average SEC arms in Hoover and a bad back half of the year schedule in general

He mentions Van Horn and Schloss as good recruiters but doesn't mention that the only teams they took to championship series were recruited by Vitello.

A&M is loaded with prospects this year. One of them was committed to Maineri at LSU and Cain took him to College Station.
Hagen Smith is the best pitcher in the country.
Don’t think Vitello recruited any of them

Yeh our hitting didn’t really improve
Down the stretch anytime we played a legit arm we sucked
Games hitting sucked
Wofford game 1
Unc game 1 and 3
Tennessee
Ganes hitting was good
UGA throwing off
Kentucky throwing off
Carolina day 3 and day 4 guys
Carolina game 2
Wofford dsy 3 guy
We had one good hitting performance against a legit pitching situation

You're too dumb to talk to. This response doesn't refute anything I said, but you seem to think it's some gotcha.
And that's how it's been this whole thread. You say something stupid, get corrected, and then double down with something dumber to move the goal posts.
You take shots at Jay's recruiting by discounting the transfers we've gotten, but then praise Arkansas recruiting even though this season 7 of their top 10 position players and their #2 starter were transfers.

Ah yes, the ole aimless discrediting of someone you don’t agree with. It’s a Rant staple.
I never praised Arkansas, I simply pointed out in a debate on whether Jay was a top 3-5 coach in the conference that there are plenty of guys with less NIL resources that have been a model of consistency at a high level for a very long time.
Buying players is easy. Maineri could’ve done it too if NIL were legal when he was around. Jay inherited the “monster” based on the current climate in college athletics, he’s not building it.
