LSU baseball lands a commitment from coveted pitcher transfer

The Tigers added another impressive transfer portal arm on Friday.

The LSU baseball team has seen quite a few pitchers enter the transfer portal since the end of the 2024 season, but it has supplemented those losses well, adding Wofford’s [autotag]Zac Cowan[/autotag] and South Florida’s [autotag]Chandler Dorsey[/autotag].

The Tigers added another impressive arm to that group on Friday, landing a commitment from Mount St. Mary’s pitcher [autotag]Deven Sheerin[/autotag]. The 6-foot-5 right-handed freshman from Reading, Pennsylvania, made 18 appearances with two starts this past season, pitching 70 innings.

He finished with a 6-5 record and 4.76 ERA, striking out 109 batters while walking 32. Sheerin has an impressive arm with a fastball that has been clocked at 98 MPH.

Sheerin, a rising sophomore, won’t be draft-eligible until 2026, meaning the Tigers could have him for at least two years.

LSU baseball lands star Wofford pitcher transfer Zac Cowan

The Tigers added a big-time portal arm on Tuesday.

In less than an hour, the LSU baseball team landed two starting pitchers from regional foe Wofford.

The latest was [autotag]Zac Cowan[/autotag], a sophomore right-hander from Blythewood, South Carolina. After seeing 15 appearances with one start as a true freshman, turning in an ERA over six, he improved markedly in his sophomore season.

He made 17 starts, earning a 10-2 record while cutting his ERA down to 3.35. He struck out 124 batters in 24 while walking just 29, earning All-SoCon honors in the process.

Previous reports also indicated that fellow Wofford pitcher Camden Wicker would be joining Cowan in Baton Rouge, but The Advocate’s Koki Alexander reported that Wicker has not committed to the Tigers.

With LSU potentially set to lose its top two weekend starters in [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag] and [autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag], adding pitching help was a major need this offseason. LSU has done just that, adding three portal arms so far. Cowan is the most accomplished of the bunch and likely projects as a weekend starter in 2025.
