4 Tigers baseball players named to top 100 impact transfers

LSU added some premier talent in the portal this offseason.

Four LSU Tigers have made D1Baseball’s list of top-100 impact transfers, and three of them landed in the top 10.

Let’s start with the two that have received the most fanfare so far, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] and [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag]. White is the reigning ACC Freshman of the Year with selections to the All-ACC First Team and ACC All-Freshman Team, and he broke the NC State school record for most home runs in a season.

Skenes is an anomaly. He can play in the field or as a starting pitcher. Skenes finished last season with a 10-3 record as a starting pitcher with an ERA of 2.73. In 85 innings pitched, he had 96 strikeouts and 30 walks.

[autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] is a 6-foot-4, 200-pound pitcher that transferred from UCLA. He pitched 34 innings for the Bruins last season and finished the year 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA, 48 strikeouts, and 10 walks.

[autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] is a transfer from Vanderbilt where he played two seasons and was a combined 4-4 with a 4.65 ERA, 95 strikeouts, and 39 walks in 81 innings pitched. The future is bright for these guys on the Bayou.
