LSU reliever Christian Little drafted by Seattle Mariners

Christian Little was picked in the 11th round after two seasons at LSU.

With the 333rd pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the [autotag]Seattle Mariners[/autotag] have drafted [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag], a right-handed pitcher from LSU.

Little, the Vanderbilt transfer, has been in Baton Rouge for two seasons after spending two years at Vandy. During his career at LSU, Little finished with a 4-2 record and a 7.16 ERA. He had 80 strikeouts and 45 walks over 64.1 innings of work.

Little started his career as a starting pitcher for Vandy but has since transitioned into a bullpen role. He made 14 starts in two years for Vandy and eight starts in his first year at LSU but he did not make any starts this year in 23 appearances.

Little is a talented pitcher but he has struggled with location. That is a big reason why he has slid all the way down to the 11th round. He still has good stuff and I believe the Mariners can bring out the best version of him.
