LSUDad Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Top LSU baseball signee Justin Crawford drafted in 1st round by Philadelphia Phillies One of the best signees of LSU’s No. 1 2022 recruiting class in center fielder Justin Crawford — son of former MLB outfielder Carl Crawford — was selected with the No. 17 pick of the MLB draft on Sunday night by the Philadelphia Phillies. He’s the second LSU player to come off the board after star third baseman Jacob Berry went to the Miami Marlins with the sixth overall picked.If he signs, Crawford would join an outfield in Philly with reigning MVP Bryce Harper. Seven of LSU’s top-10 highest-rated draft prospects were part of the 2022 recruiting class, and Crawford was the first domino to fall. He likely will not be the last, either, as LSU may have one or two more incoming freshmen picked tonight. Even though these kids get drafted, they still have the option to go to LSU and play for coach Jay Johnson and the Tigers. But given the slotted values for first or second-round picks, it would be very hard to turn that down. Though a surprise could be in the works when it comes time to negotiate his signing bonus, Crawford is now likely heading to the minor leagues to grind it out for a while before we hopefully see him in the majors one day.

LSUDad Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Mikey Romero became the latest member of LSU’s recruiting class to get drafted as he was picked with the 24th pick by the Boston Red Sox in the 2022 MLB draft. Romero joins Justin Crawford, another 2022 recruit who was taken in the first round. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound shortstop/second baseman from Orange Lutheran in California was ranked as the No. 65 overall prospect in the MLB draft according to MLB.com, but he went off the board earlier than some expected. He was rated as a five-star infielder in the 2022 recruiting class, and he was committed to play for coach Jay Johnson at Arizona. When Johnson left the desert for LSU, Romero re-opened his recruitment and wound up following Johnson to the bayou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 With the 110th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft the Pittsburgh Pirates selected ew York prep lefty Michael Kennedy After drafting college pitchers in three straight picks, the Pittsburgh Pirates went back to the prep route with the 110th overall pick in the draft. With the pick the Pirates selected high school left-handed pitcher Michael Kennedy. Kennedy was a top 100 prospect in the draft. However, he is currently committed to LSU which likely contributed to him falling to the fourth round of the draft. With the Pittsburgh Pirates going with under slot college picks in three straight selections prior to Kennedy, they should have more than enough money available to make Kennedy and over slot offer to get him signed. Kennedy hails from Troy, New York. He has a 55 grade fastball and slider, a 50 grade changeup, and his control is also given a 50 grade. Kennedy knows how to use his three-pitch mix and has an advanced knowledge of pitching. His fastball will sit in the low-90s, but it has good movement and can play up in the zone. Kennedy is not afraid to attack batters and does not lack confidence on the mound. His slider is his best swing-and-miss pitch and sits in the high 70s.

LSUDad Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 The Yankees are going back to the college baseball well for some more pitching, using their 160th overall pick in the fifth round on Eric Reyzelman. A junior right-hander from Louisiana State University (LSU), Reyzelman converted to a full-time reliever this season after spending most of the previous two years as a starter.

LSUDad Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Here's where LSU baseball stands after the MLB draft. There's already some good news.

Gervase, who tweeted out Monday that he would return to LSU, was selected in the 12th round by the New York Mets on Tuesday. “I’m always grateful for my time at LSU,” Gervase told The Advocate on Tuesday. “Me and my family just thought this was the right decision. Through 20 rounds of the draft, those were the only losses from the 2022 roster who were draft-eligible, aside from players who have graduated. But the Tigers also lost at least two players from its transfer portal additions and six from its class of 2022 that were drafted within the first four rounds. Two more high school signees were drafted on the last day but have not made their intentions known. Players have until Aug. 1 to sign with an MLB team or commit to playing college ball, but a few already have made it public what their intentions are. Among other losses was Baylor transfer shortstop Jack Pineda who, a source close to the situation confirmed to The Advocate, intends to pursue his professional career with the Kansas City Royals after being drafted in the 12th round. The Tigers hauled in an impressive transfer portal class leading up to the MLB draft, and coach Jay Johnson told The Advocate on Friday that he was confident the Tigers were prepared for the losses it would take in the draft. Shortstop Mikey Romero, outfielder Justin Crawford and left-hander Robby Snelling were selected in the first round. Both right-hander Jacob Misiorowski and shortstop Tucker Toman went in the second round. Left-hander Michael Kennedy was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth round. IMG Academy’s Brady Neal and Sierra Canyon’s Jaden Noot were selected in the 17th and 19th rounds, respectively, by the Milwaukee Brewers. Their decisions are not known. A few members of the recruiting class made their commitments to play at LSU public. Paxton Kling, the No. 104 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline, was the first to announce his intention to play at LSU. The outfielder was the No. 1 player in the state of Pennsylvania and No. 14 overall prospect by Perfect Game.

LSUDad Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 LSU entered the third day of the 2022 MLB draft with several of its incoming recruits ranked among the best prospects available. But one of those players, four-star infielder Gavin Guidry, announced on Tuesday that he will not be going pro and will head to Baton Rouge, instead. Guidry is a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and the 6-foot-2, 180-pound player was one of the best signees in the Tigers’ No. 1-ranked 2022 recruiting class. On the first night of the draft alone, five LSU signees were picked, all of which are expected to go pro. Guidry joins Paxton Kling and Chase Shores, who also withdrew their names from the draft.

LSUDad Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 On Tuesday, the Tigers learned that at least one of the drafted commits in their vaunted, No. 1-ranked 2022 recruiting class will make it to campus. Five-star catcher Brady Neal, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 17th round earlier in the day, will reportedly not sign and will enroll at LSU instead, according to a report from The Advocate’s Leah Vann. Neal played his high school ball at powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He was one of two Tigers signees Milwaukee took a flyer on late in the draft as it also drafted Jaden Noot, who is still yet to make a decision regarding his future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
