BREAKING: The @NCAA Division I Baseball Committee, as expected, has passed legislation to move to a lower-seamed baseball. #CollegeBaseball
Committee Chair Dennis Farrell: “The committee was very concerned with the diminishing offensive production at the #CWS. That started this."
As completely expected, and as we reported from talking to Damani Leech, it goes into effect in 2015. #CollegeBaseball

A survey conducted by the American Baseball Coaches Association showed 87 percent of the respondents wanted to change to the flat-seamed baseball. Around 80 percent of the nearly 300 Division I baseball coaches responded to the survey.
The coaches were also asked questions pertaining to game excitement and home runs. Seventy-two percent thought the game needed more excitement and 69 percent believe Division I college baseball needs more home runs.

Day 24: Junior #13 Brady Domangue
LSU Profile
Brady is yet another transfer from LSU Eunice, a junior college that seems to be a farm club for LSU. PM/Dunn knew they wanted Brady early, signing him in February of last year.
2013 Season (@LSUE):
Day 25: Junior #33 Henri Faucheux
LSU Profile
Henri has made his way around college baseball starting with ULL as a freshmen, then Shelton State as a sophomore, and now at LSU for his Junior season. He's a LHP who tops out in the upper 80s on his FB with a big looping curve. He'll need to develop a strong change-up as a third pitch if he wants to max out his effectiveness.
2013 Season (@Shelton State):
Day 26: Junior #17 Jared Foster
LSU Profile
Jared has been Mr. Versatility. He came to LSU as a dual-sport athlete, a QB for football and an infielder for baseball. But he chose to stick to baseball after his first football season, and has played multiple positions in the infield and outfield. He hits for average and has one of the strongest arms on the team.
2013 Season:
Day 29: Junior #2 Tyler Moore
LSU Profile
Tyler is a local product who's been able to play multiple positions, mainly 3B, 1B, and C. He's had some of the most clutch at bats the past two years as a Tiger. This year, he is likely to see more consistent playing time being PM's first choice behind the plate.

Day 27: Junior #24 Cody Glenn
LSU Profile
Cody is a LHP who was excellent as the 3rd starter in last year's rotation toward the middle-end of the season. He's not a big strikeout pitcher, but relies on a deceptive slider and decent change-up to get mostly ground balls. Look for him to remain a weekend starter in either the Saturday or Sunday roll.
2013 Season:
Day 28: Junior #20 Conner Hale
LSU Profile
Conner is a transfer corner infielder who can hit well and hit with some power. He has played 3B the last two years in Junior College but is most likely to get playing time at 1B for the tigers.

Day 30: Junior #10 Aaron Nola
LSU Profile
Aaron is another local Baton Rouge product who has been stellar on the mound for LSU. He enters his 3 season as the ace of the staff and will anchor the rotation on Friday nights. At first being known as Austin's little brother, Aaron has set himself apart and made a name for himself in his own right.
2013 Season:
Day 31: Junior #49 Zac Person
LSU Profile
Zac is a LHP who comes over from LSU-Eunice along with Brady Domangue. His fastball reaches the upper 80s, and he has good deception with his curveball. He's another new face who will be relied upon immediately out of the bullpen.

I'm so ready for the season to start. But I know once it does the season will fly by like it always does.

Yep. The anticipation is part of the fun though. Similarly, I enjoy Saturdays leading up to kickoff as much as I enjoy the game itself. Those hours of building suspense are second only the victory celebration.
