Ashton Larson is impressing in the Cape Cod League after a promising freshman season with the Tigers.

After an incredible season, LSU freshman outfielder [autotag]Ashton Larson[/autotag] has been awarded the Most Outstanding Player award for the [autotag]Chatham Anglers[/autotag] in the [autotag]Cape Cod League[/autotag].

Larson continued the productivity he had during his first year at LSU during his short time with the Chatham Anglers. he finished his season in the Cape Cod league with a .316 batting average, nine doubles, one homer, and 18 RBI in 31 games with the Anglers.

Larson played 53 games for LSU this season and finished with a .298 batting average, nine doubles, three homers and 16 RBI. [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] needed someone to step up in the outfield and help try to fill a hole left by [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and although he is not Crews, Larson filled a corner outfield spot and became an everyday starter for the Tigers.

Larson’s future is bright on the Bayou. He has all the tools needed to become one of the next top draft picks out of LSU.

LSU pitcher Griffin Herring impresses during summer ball start

Griffin Herring finished the game after pitching 3.2 innings and allowing zero runs and zero hits as he struck out three hitters and walked two.

After an impressive season for Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers this Spring, [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] has transitioned to Summer ball where he is playing for the [autotag]Chatham Anglers[/autotag] in the [autotag]Cape Cod League[/autotag].

Today, he started for the Anglers against Yarmouth Dennis and he was impressive. Herring finished the game after pitching 3.2 innings and allowing zero runs and zero hits as he struck out three hitters and walked two.

Herring was used as a reliever last season for the Tigers and was a finalist for the Stopper of the Year Award. He participated in the MLB Combine to get some feedback on what his stock may be in the upcoming [autotag]MLB draft[/autotag].

LSU head coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] has already said that if Herring decides to come back to Baton Rouge next Spring he will be one of the weekend starters for the Tigers.

I believe Herring has the skills to be the ace for LSU if he comes back next year.

Clemson baseball’s Caden Grice has received another honor to add to his resume.

Playing in the Cape Cod Baseball League this summer, Grice was selected to be an All-Star for the Chatham Anglers.

In 30 games this summer, Grice has batted .223, hitting a team-high four home runs in the process. He is also tied for second on the Anglers in RBIs and hits, with 11 and 10, respectively.

Grice finished the 2022 season with Clemson batting .244, slightly down from his freshman season in 2021 when he batted .317.

As Clemson baseball begins a new era with newly-hired head coach Erik Bakich, Grice’s work in the summer is a good sign for the Tigers.

Notre Dame righty Roman Kimball reportedly transfers to South Carolina

Think the Irish will miss him?

Although Notre Dame is coming off a College World Series appearance, not everyone sees a chance to thrive in South Bend. One of them is right-handed reliever [autotag]Roman Kimball[/autotag], who is transferring to South Carolina according to 247Sports. Kimball just completed his freshman season with the Irish, making 17 appearances out of the bullpen. He had a 5.76 ERA and struck out 32 batters over 25 innings. This summer, he is pitching for the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

Kimball, who hails from New Hartford, New York, went past one inning eight times with the Irish. His longest outing was four innings in a 5-1 Irish win over Valparaiso on April 19. He nearly equaled that in his lone game with the Anglers to this point, going three innings.

While this will be a tough loss for the Irish’s bullpen, Kimball obviously thought this decision through, so all we can do is wish him well with the Gamecocks.
