MLB Pipeline has released its first mock for the 2024 MLB draft, and two LSU Tigers have made the first round. One of them is a superstar third baseman and the other is a pitcher that had a great performance in Omaha.
With the 10th overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft, MLB Pipeline has the Washington Nationals selecting [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag], a third baseman from LSU. I guess the Nationals are just going to try to make a team full of LSU players as the Nats took [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] in the 2023 MLB draft. White was a transfer from NC State where his claim to fame was hitting a lot of homers. That mantra lived on in Baton Rouge last spring.
With the 18th pick of the 2024 MLB draft, MLB Pipeline has the Tampa Bay Rays taking [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag], a right-handed pitcher from LSU. Hurd was a transfer from UCLA who took his lumps at the start of the 2023 season but wound up as one of the best pitchers in LSU’s rotation. He put on a show in Omaha that helped lead LSU to a national championship.
