LSU baseball has no shortage of stars entering 2023, and a few could be moving quickly through the minors a year from now.
The two names drawing the most attention from MLB teams are [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag]. In the last mock draft from MLB.com, both Crews and Skenes were selected in the top five.
The mock has Crews going first overall to the Pirates, while Skenes goes fourth overall to Texas.
Crews is projected to be the top player in the sport next year. The outfielder has been piling up stats for two years now and can hit for both power and contact. Skenes, who comes to LSU after beginning his career at Air Force, is expected to be one of the best pitchers in the conference.
The lengthy right-hander has all the tools to be an ace and can contribute at the plate, too.
