The LSU baseball team is still several months from the beginning of the 2025 season, but when the spring rolls around, it could be without one of its top offseason additions.
Transfer pitcher [autotag]Deven Sheerin[/autotag] has suffered a torn ACL, according to coach Jay Johnson. The injury is not new, as Johnson said it occurred during the summer, but it casts doubt on his availability for the 2025 season. Johnson said there currently is not a timetable for his return.
It’s a major loss for an LSU pitching staff that lost quite a few pieces from last season including starters [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag], [autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag] and [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] as well as top bullpen arm [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag].
Sheerin, a native of Reading, Pennsylvania, earned MAAC Rookie of the Year and First Team All-MAAC honors as a freshman at Mount St. Mary in 2024. He finished the season with a 4.76 ERA and 6-5 record while striking out 109 batters compared to just 32 walks.

If Sheerin is not able to go by the start of the season, the Tigers will have to lean on other arms in a talented transfer pitcher class that also includes [autotag]Anthony Eyanson[/autotag], [autotag]Jacob Mayers[/autotag], [autotag]Chandler Dorsey[/autotag] and [autotag]Zac Cowan[/autotag].
