The signing class is composed of 11 NCAA Division I transfers, four JUCO transfers and 10 high school signees. Nine LSU players were ranked earlier this month among Baseball America magazine’s Top 100 College Transfers. Johnson, the 2023 National Coach of the Year entering his fourth season at LSU, said the Tigers’ staff was focused upon composing a roster designed to compete at an elite level. “We’ve had 22 players sign pro contracts over the past two seasons, so we’ve had a lot of work to do in building the pitching depth and the overall physicality in our program. The guys that we brought in from the transfer portal combined to hit 80 home runs last year, so we were aggressive in finding players with extra-base hit potential. “The bat speed, the physicality, the conviction of what they’re doing at the plate stands out, and I think we needed an infusion of that. This class will complement our returning players very, very well. I love the guys that we have returning, we have the right players and people returning from last season.” The Tigers feature seven returning players with starting experience at LSU, including senior shortstop Michael Braswell III, senior outfielder Josh Pearson, junior first baseman Jared Jones, junior outfielder Ethan Frey, sophomore second baseman Steven Milam, sophomore outfielder Ashton Larson, and sophomore outfielder/left-handed pitcher Jake Brown. The pitching staff contains six hurlers who have recorded innings at LSU, including junior right-hander Gavin Guidry, junior right-hander Kade Woods, sophomore right-hander Chase Shores, sophomore right-hander Jaden Noot, sophomore left-hander Kade Anderson and sophomore left-hander DJ Primeaux. The Tigers will engage in individual drills and strength training for the next six weeks prior to beginning their full-squad fall practice period on Thursday, October 10. The fall session will feature several intra-squad scrimmages through October and November in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Johnson said LSU will also play two exhibition games this fall against outside competition. The Tigers meet Samford on Sunday, November 3, at Keesler Federal Park in Biloxi, Miss., and LSU will face UL Lafayette on Sunday, November 10 at Moore Field in Lafayette, La.
