The Tigers are off to a phenomenal start to the offseason. They’ve hired an MLB pitching coach in [autotag]Wes Johnson[/autotag] and added two of the best players in the transfer portal, outfielder [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] from North Carolina State and pitcher [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] from Vanderbilt.
Now, they’ve landed another former Commodore as [autotag]Carter Young[/autotag] announced his commitment to LSU on Monday.
Young is a 6-foot, 180-pound junior infielder. He’s coming off of his worst year at Vandy, as he batted just .207 last season in 56 games played and 188 at-bats. Although he had some rough numbers last season, he hit .328 his freshman season and .252 his sophomore year.

The talent is there, he just has to get his groove back. Hopefully, making a new start on the Bayou is the way for him to do that. Young makes the Tigers’ fifth commit out of the transfer portal as coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] is building a new squad that we hope can go all the way.
