LSU baseball has high expectations entering the spring.
A team that showed promise in Jay Johnson’s first year brings back plenty of talent along with some hefty additions in the portal and some blue-chip freshmen.
Four of those players have been selected to Collegiate Baseball’s all-American team. [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], in particular, has generated a lot of buzz. He’s as close as you can get to a consensus best player in the sport.
LSU hasn’t made a College World Series since 2017 when the Tigers dropped the final to Florida. In the four seasons since, talented LSU teams have fell short, but it never really felt like LSU had all the tools to make a run.
College Baseball Tweet:

2023 is different. A championship will be the expectation. This is the best roster LSU has had in some time, headlined by these four stars.
