LSU sophomore right-handed pitcher [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] could be in the mix for some hardware this spring.
The Lake Charles, Louisiana, native was named to the preseason watch list for the 2024 Stopper of the Year Award. The award is given annually by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association to the top relief pitcher in college baseball.
A two-way player coming out of high school, Guidry exclusively pitched as a true freshman in 2023. He made 23 appearances with one start, totaling a 3-0 record with 3.77 ERA.
He came up clutch in the College World Series, coming in as a reliever in Games 2 and 3 against Florida in the final. He also recorded saves in the super regional against Kentucky and in the regional against Oregon State.

Guidry is likely to come out of the bullpen once again this spring, though he could also compete for a starting spot on Sundays, which is yet to be claimed.
