Jay Johnson is a maestro at finding aces in the transfer portal. Though three starts at LSU:

Paul Skenes: 3-0, 0.50 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 18.0 IP, 36 K, 3 BB, .100 OBA

Luke Holman: 3-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.56 WHIP, 18.0 IP, 30 K, 2 BB, .133 OBA

I vote we enjoy Holman for who he is and not try to compare him to Skenes.

It’s a tradition here at LSU to unfairly compare players and argue for no reason. It’s how this board stays in business.

They are two different types of pitchers who (at least for now) are getting similar results in an LSU uniform. That alone is enough and should be fun to watch for any Tiger fan.

Both bring a mental toughness to their pitching games also its not all about fastballs these pitchers both keep hitters guessing. I love watching these two pitch.

Every time I see that pic of Jay with the lady in the back I always wish she’d wear something less revealing

Mr Roboto told me Holman wasn’t an ace

It’s not unfair to compare Holman to Skenes. And it’s okay if he falls short of that.I appreciate the OP’s effort and am curious how it plays out. I said earlier in the year that it would not surprise me if we end up with as good a “Friday Night” record this season as we had last season. I would not expect the Omaha heroics that we got with Skenes, though.

If that picture was cropped right under the LSU emblem on jay's polo people would have gone nuts. Who is this? WYHI threads? Etc. Lets just say the above selfie applies to her

He's had to out of necessity.

He won't have to next year.

I believe that would be Dylan Crews' girlfriend. She can wear whatever the hell she likes.

If true then Dylan wtf? Skenes gets Livvy and Crews gets that

Eta: upon further thought if she makes Dylan happy then good for him

Holman is off to a great start. Impressive work so far to even be compared to Paul Skenes who was one of the best ever at the college level.

I’m just loving the confidence from our pitchers. Even the bullpen as well.
