Another one of the unsung heroes for LSU this season has been picked in the 2023 MLB draft. Right fielder [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 12th round.
Jobert had a .301 batting average this year as he hit 11 doubles, two triples, 14 homers, and 49 RBI. He was the Tigers’ CWS leader in home runs (3), and he was second on the club in CWS RBI (7). He is also scheduled to graduate from LSU in the summer of 2023 with a degree in sports administration.
Jobert’s performance in the winner-take-all game three against Florida is a performance that Tiger fans will remember for a long time. He finished the night 4-for-7 with three runs scored, one double, one homer, and three RBI.

Jobert lands in a nice spot in St. Louis. He still has the option to stay in Baton Rouge or go pro. If he goes pro, he will be sent to one of the Cardinals’ minor league teams to begin his career.
