The Freshman pitcher from Gonzaga looks good to me..


Yeah Landon Hood is a freshman throwing 97 and 2028 draft eligible. He already ranks #78 for 2028. MLB scouts think he’s a slam dunk rotation piece for us.
I mean I definitely trust Jay and co to do their due diligence. I’m cautiously optimistic and hope it was just a one time thing cuz he looks to be like a great talent to fill a needed hole for us.
The best thing about this pickup is he’s 2028 eligible. We get him for 2 years in Baton Rouge. He ranks #72 in the 2028 class as of now

I will note, the only downfall of this pickup is that he was kicked off the team in mid April and Texas state started playing better. Could be a potential locker room cancer

Between Casan, Schmidt, Moore, Paz and now Hood. You have 5 legit arms competing for a rotation spot. I think Casan and Schmidt will both vastly improve next year after a full season starting. Pitching could be elite next year.

MAC Freshman of the Year in the portal, Diego Cruz. Another DC initialed outfielder perhaps?

Wasn’t able to watch the game but multiple people said his defense didn’t help him either. Hopefully Tommy gets called up there soon as well!
Looking at their #s:

Costello: .259, 15 HRs, 59 RBIs, .961 OPS, 185 ABs, 41 BB, 29 Ks.

Jones: .323, 12 HRs, 54 RBIs, .993 OPS, 3 SB, 201 ABs, 26 BBs, 53 Ks.

Looks like Jones has a higher K rate. But outside of that seems to have had a better year than Costello.

We would’ve hosted West Virginia at home. They won the Tucson (13 overall) regional as a 3 seed. We lost as a 2 seed in Chapel Hill. Not sure where you got Tennessee from. They were the #1 overall seed.

Still think if we get out of the UNC regional, we make Omaha in 2024 with Jump and Holman in that rotation.
Monday, June 1st is when it officially opens and all regionals will be completed by that evening as well. 48 teams will be having exit interviews next week and will be thousands of kids entering.
That’s a good point I didn’t think about. He seems like an intriguing player. Trying to keep my eye out for guys announcing they’re entering. I know next Monday it’s going to be very busy with entries

Anyone have anymore insight on him? Mid major player with a .370 BA and 13 HRs, I wonder if he is a solid defender at the hot corner.
I wouldn’t consider the sun belt a lower level conference. They have 2 excellent programs at the forefront of that league
Do you think the swing and miss is fixable though? I haven’t seen any film on him at all, so was wondering if you have. Could it possibly be that he was the only hitter on his team that was dead last in the conference? Is there potential he’s much better when he’s protected in a lineup with guys like Braun, Serna and Arambide?
That guy doesn’t look like a non-athlete. He hit .384 as a freshman in a solid league. I don’t think that’s the same as taking a Carraway, Simpson, or Yorke.

It is not, but Jay/LSU cannot talk directly to the player until he is officially in the portal.


Correct. However, they’re absolutely going to be looking at his film and analytics for the next couple of weeks and I’m sure they’ll have a visit scheduled as soon as June 1st gets here.
I would assume they would give this kid a thorough look as he could potentially fill an OF role for them.
With how athletic he appears to be, I wonder if you can sell him RF, especially with those power numbers. Could translate well to pro teams
