LSU lands elite UC San Diego pitcher transfer Anthony Eyanson

The rich got even richer on Wednesday night as LSU added another prized pitcher to its No. 1-ranked class.

LSU fans who stayed up until the late hours on Wednesday night were treated to some huge news from the transfer portal front.

UC San Diego right-handed pitcher transfer [autotag]Anthony Eyanson[/autotag] committed to the Tigers out of the portal, adding a player with starter stuff to an already loaded haul of transfer pitchers. Eyanson visited LSU last weekend, and now he’s joining a transfer class that is already ranked No. 1 in America.

In 82 innings for the Toreros as a sophomore in 2024, he finished with a 6-2 record and 3.07 ERA while striking out 85 batters and walking just 24.

The Tigers are set to lose quite a few arms from this past season, including starters [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag] and [autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag], in all likelihood. [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] is also a pro prospect as is [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag], who entered the transfer portal and won’t be returning, regardless.

Eyanson could prove to be a Friday night starter for LSU, and he’s sure to be an instant impact player in 2025.

LSU baseball hosting star UC San Diego pitcher transfer this weekend

The Tigers could be poised to add yet another talented transfer arm to their offseason haul.

LSU already has quite an impressive transfer haul, especially when it comes to pitchers. That group ranks as the best class in the country, but it could be about to get even better.

According to The Advocate’s Koki Riley, the Tigers are playing host to one of the top available transfer pitchers in UC San Diego’s [autotag]Anthony Eyanson[/autotag]. The Lakewood, California, native earned Second Team All-Big West honors as a sophomore in 2024, going 6-2 in 14 appearances with an impressive 3.07 ERA.

He struck out 85 batters while walking 24 across 82 total innings this past season. He was named to the USA Collegiate National Team this summer.

LSU suffered quite a few losses from its pitching staff this offseason, but it has replaced those players with quite a few talented transfer arms. If this weekend’s visit with Eyanson goes well, it could be poised to add another.
