[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] has been recruiting at an incredibly high level since stepping foot on the Bayou. He has had a top-five recruiting class every season and that is just the high school recruits.

With the new landscape of college baseball, you have to be able to re-tool your team with some of the best transfer players in the country. Johnson did just that this year as he has signed nine of the top 100 collegiate transfers according to Baseball America.

[autotag]Daniel Dickinson[/autotag] appears at No. 2 on the list. He is an infielder who played at Utah Valley where he was a star for the last two seasons. [autotag]Anthony Eyanson[/autotag] comes in at No. 4 on the list. Eyanson is a right-handed pitcher who transfers to LSU after spending time at UCSD. [autotag]Deven Sheerin[/autotag] is a right-handed pitcher from Mount St. Mary’s who comes in at No. 8 on the list.

[autotag]Jacob Mayers[/autotag] is a right-handed pitcher who comes in at No. 17 on the list, [autotag]Chandler Dorsey[/autotag] is a right-handed pitcher who comes in at No. 22 on the list, [autotag]Zac Cowan[/autotag] is a right-handed pitcher who comes in right behind him at No. 23, [autotag]Luis Hernandez[/autotag] is a utility player who comes in at No. 32 on the list, outfielder/left-handed pitcher [autotag]Dalton Beck[/autotag] is No. 34 on the list and outfielder [autotag]Chris Stanfield[/autotag] is at No. 79.

Jay Johnson picks up another hitter for LSU baseball in the transfer portal

Jay Johnson has landed an intriguing prospect out of the transfer portal in Dalton Beck from Incarnate Word.

[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] has landed an intriguing prospect out of the transfer portal in [autotag]Dalton Beck[/autotag] from Incarnate Word. Beck has been a bit of a journeyman over the first three years of his collegiate career.

Beck started at Grayson College before transferring to Kansas State for his sophomore season and then transferring to Incarnate Word for his junior season. He has appeared as a pitcher and a hitter for each team but it seems as though his bat heavily outweighs his ability on the mound.

Beck put up some gaudy numbers for the Cardinals last season as he appeared in 39 games making 39 starts. He finished with a .348 batting average and a .707 slugging percentage with 12 doubles, one triple, 18 homers, and 67 RBI.

Beck was an outfielder for the Cardinals and he could fill that same role for LSU. With all of the players the Tigers have lost in the transfer portal, it’s nice to get a hitter back.
