Must be getting a nice NIL deal to skip the money he'll make there.

So I'm sure we can expect a ton of tweets from law about players signing in the 11th hour when they allowed coaches to use their resources to recruit them, right?

He is the best high school pitching prospect to come out of Louisiana. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t a weekend starter off the bat

MLB Draft Guy Keith Law is not happy
My first thought when I saw this thread was Keith Law punching the air right now. If that guy had his way college baseball wouldn’t exist. He sucks. God forbid a kid get paid and play in front of thousands while getting a college degree instead of slumming it for minimum wage in empty ballparks.

With the way the ports has worked he basically has to play immediately or we risk losing him next year.

Letting the entire industry scout you all spring and then pulling your name from the draft just two hours before it begins is … a choice, to be kind.


He didn’t “let” the pros scout him… they were gonna scout him regardless based on his skills and his accomplishments…

Heard his number was $4 M, not negotiable

Guess with the high percentage of UCL injuries, no team wanted to chance it with a high school arm that only recently reached that velo and has a bit of an unusual motion

Hard to believe, but great for LSU and I hope for he and his family

Law just dislikes college baseball in general. He’s railed for years about college coaches ruining pitchers arms. Go find his tweets from last year about Skenes’ pitch counts.

Fb mid 90’s and has hit 99. Best curveball in the class. He grew 8 inches over the summer of his sophomore and junior years. I saw hi. Pitch once this year and thought he could have been LSU’s Sunday starter this year.
