Today, USA Baseball announced the preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list, and two LSU Tigers made the list. Third baseman, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag], and right-handed pitcher [autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag] are the two Tigers who made the watch list.
White transferred to LSU last season and set the SEC on fire. He finished the season with a .374 batting average, 24 doubles, 24 homers and 105 RBI. He was the cleanup hitter who hit behind the No. 2 pick in the MLB draft, Dylan Crews. His biggest moment of the year was a walk-off homer against Wake Forest in Omaha.
Holman transferred to LSU after spending his past two seasons at Alabama. He finished 2023 with a 7-4 record and a 3.67 ERA as the Ace of the Crimson Tide staff. Holman joins [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] and [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag] to make a pitching trio that has a chance to be the best pitching rotation in the NCAA.
LSU begins its 2024 season on Feb. 16 against VMI.
