LSU has the makings of a very talented pitching rotation next season with a stud transfer class and several prized high school recruits making it to campus.
There is also a potential X-factor in the group of returning pitchers as [autotag]Chase Shores[/autotag] is expected to be back after missing the entire 2024 season following Tommy John surgery.
Shores impressed early as a true freshman in 2023, appearing in seven games with four starts. He ended the year with a 0.96 ERA in 18.1 innings before his campaign ended with a torn UCL on March 31.
Though he missed the entire campaign, coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] recently said the Shores would have been available if LSU had reached the super regionals in the NCAA Tournament.
The hard-throwing 6-foot-8, 245-pound right-hander had a breakout season cut short in 2023, but the former top prospect in Texas should be finally back to full health by the time LSU’s 2025 season begins.
