LSUDad Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 College baseball season is right around the corner, and Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers are getting ready to defend their national title. Perfect Game has released their preseason top 25 before the season gets here. Where do the reigning national champs land on the poll? LSU will start off the 2024 season as the No. 3 team in the country according to Perfect Game. The Tigers find themselves behind two teams that they beat in 2023. Wake Forest, whom LSU beat in the College World Series, and Arkansas, whom LSU won a series against during the season, are No. 1 and No. 2 on Perfect Game’s poll. On Friday, Perfect Game named Tommy Whiteand Luke Holman as Preseason All-Americans. Those two players will be pivotal to LSU’s success this year. Thatcher Hurd returns to the team as well as some new faces straight out of high school in what could be another great season at Alex Box Stadium. http Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Perfect Game recently released a list of who they view as the top-75 college baseball freshmen as we head into the 2024 season. There are three LSU Tigers on that list and one of them is No. 1. Cam Johnson, Jake Brown, and Steven Milamare the three Tigers that made the list and all of them have a chance to play a big role for LSU this spring. Johnson was the prize of the 2023 recruiting class. He is a left-handed pitcher who was rated as the No. 42 overall prospect in the 2023 MLB draft. Instead of starting his MLB journey with the St. Louis Cardinals, he chose to go to Baton Rouge. He was ranked as the No. 1 incoming freshman by Perfect Game. Brown was the No. 1 high school baseball player in the state of Louisiana and he brings multiple skills to the table. In high school, he played in the outfield and was a pitcher. He was selected by the Texas Rangers in the MLB Draft but chose to go to LSU instead. Milam was the No. 1 overall player from the state of New Mexico. He won the 2023 Gatorade Player of the Year in New Mexico after batting .627 with 52 hits, 50 RBI and 65 runs. All three of these guys are names you should learn as we get ready for the 2024 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
