We just finished the 2023 MLB draft in which we saw two teammates go back-to-back at No. 1 and No. 2 for the first time in NCAA history.
Those two guys were [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] and [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] from LSU. Two of the best of all time to wear purple and gold.
MLB Pipeline just released a mock draft for the first round of the 2024 draft and two LSU Tigers made the list. [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] and [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] both made the mock draft as they are projected to land inside the top-20 draft picks next season.
MLB Pipeline has White going to the Detroit Tigers at the No. 7 pick overall. White was an RBI machine for the Tigers last season as he had a .374 batting average with 24 doubles, 24 homers and 105 RBI.
MLB Pipeline has Hurd going to the Boston Red Sox at the No. 15 pick. Hurd had an 8-2 record with a 5.68 ERA for the Tigers last year as he struck out 84 batters and walked 40.
It's never too early to look ahead!
