LSU tops the preseason Collegiate Baseball National Ranking

The Tigers are poised to have a championship-contending team.

It is not much of a surprise, but LSU is ranked as the No. 1 team in the country entering the 2023 season, according to Collegiate Baseball.

[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] is coming off back-to-back No. 1 recruiting classes and the Tigers have possibly the No. 1 pick in the MLB draft, [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], roaming around in the outfield.

The team would be stacked with those guys, but I haven’t even mentioned the transfers. LSU picked up two of the top transfers in the country when the Tigers grabbed one of the best power hitters in the country, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag], and one of the best two-way players in the country, [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag].

LSU is one of six SEC teams in the top ten of the rankings. They are joined by Florida (2), Texas A&M (4), Tennessee (5), Arkansas (7), and Vanderbilt (9). That goes to show just how strong the SEC is in baseball. It is going to be a great season to be at Alex Box Stadium.
