Cresse was great with the bat but was very mediocre defensively.

I said Gibbs, then Cresse. He says Liuzza. All good choices.

Micah Gibbs - no contest.



I would argue that Gibbs was the single biggest contributor to his team in the history of LSU baseball.

Probably Gibbs, then Cresse, Hymel, Liuzza, Osik, Lanier, Bianco, Heath, Antonini, Earnhardt.

Can't argue with this.

He had a great senior year at the plate, but was very average defensively.

Bianco and Osik were much better behind the plate during that era.

Best defensive catcher Jorgensen. Best offensive catcher Cresse. Best all around catcher Gibbs


Agreed. I think the switch hitting by Micah was very important, messing up opponents pitching options out of the bullpen.

Nope, i just know that he was probably one of the best catchers LSU has ever had. Not just recently.
