re: Way Too Early 2019 LSU Baseball Lineup

Just my thinking but Hughes is a much better defensive option at SS than Slaughter. Hal is one of the more fluid defensive players to come in and start as a freshman.

Austin Nola 09
Ty Ross 11
Andrew Stevenson 13

All freshman who played big roles and hit 8-9 as freshman because their glove was worth it in the field.

Hughes will get better, he wasn't supposed to be LSU's primary SS this year but the experience will help him mature at a much faster pace moving forward.

Our hitting has been fine the last 2 weeks
Bullpen let us down multiple times

Hughes is better defensively than Slaughter and Reid was horrible at the plate in Sec play when he was playing everyday

In what way am I more blind than u are

Thanks

Beloso reminds me a ton of Chinea but from the left side. He’s only 6’0 but a powerful and sticky frame. I don’t see him anywhere else besides 1B or DH so he’s going to need to show he can hit consistently. He’s one of those that may need a year or two to get going (much like Webre this season) but should become a solid 3-4 guy.

Dugas is one of the best athletes in the class. Great speed and has a chance to come in next year and compete for 2B or 3B with Broussard, Hughes, and Bianco(assuming Smith is at SS).

I see both at LSU next year.

Just to add on to Beloso and Dugas, both will be playing summer league ball this year. Dugas will playing for the Danville Dans (Prospect League) with Drew Bianco (and his Louisville brother Ben coincidentally), and Brandon Nowak.

Beloso will be playing for the Lima Locos in the Great Lakes League with Braden Doughty and Trent Vietmeier.

Still looking for other locations. Not coming up with much. I know Webre and Cabrera are scheduled for the Cape. Broussard to the Northwoods league. But I haven't found anyone else.
