[autotag]Steven Milam[/autotag] entered the 2024 season as a backup middle infielder but he ended up as one of the most pivotal players on the team.
Milam became the starting second baseman early in the season and played in 63 games for the Tigers. He finished the year with a .326 batting average with 12 doubles, three triples, eight homers and 40 RBI.
Some of his biggest plays happened in the postseason. Milam hit a homer to save the day for LSU against South Carolina in the SEC tournament and he hit two homers against Wofford to help LSU win their first game of the Chapel Hill Regional.
Milam’s play this season has earned him a spot on the D1Baseball Freshman All-American team. Milam is a First-Team All-American and was the only Freshman Tiger to be recognized as an All-American by D1Baseball.
The Tigers have lost a lot of players to the transfer portal this offseason but I am glad Milam has not been one of them.
