A former LSU baseball pitcher is joining new Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle in Austin.
On Saturday night, sophomore right-handed pitcher [autotag]Aidan Moffett[/autotag] announced that he was transferring to the Longhorns after spending his first two seasons in Baton Rouge. Moffett entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of the season.
A former top 200 national prospect coming out of high school, expectations were high for Moffett. He threw just 19 pitches — all in one game — as a true freshman in 2023, but he saw action in 16 games as a sophomore this spring.
Moffett still only pitched 17.2 innings, however, finishing with a 5.60 ERA as he gave up 11 earned runs while striking out 21 batters and walking 11.
HOOK EM🤘🏾

His final appearance with the Tigers came in the regional winners’ bracket loss to North Carolina, in which Moffett faced just one batter, recording a strikeout.
LSU could see Moffett again as he’s staying in the SEC while looking for a fresh start with Texas.
