Is LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson done plucking players out of the transfer portal. So far three position players have made the announcement they are transferring to LSU. And two pitchers have also committed to the Tigers.

It all started when Creighton Pitcher Dylan Tebrake announced his plans to transfer to LSU in mid-June. Tebrake has been the top pitcher in the Big East the last two seasons and could still decide to play professional baseball if a Major League team offers him enough money.

Vanderbilt right-hander Christian Little is also heading to LSU after appearing in 18 games for the Commodores this past season.

LSU is also re-tooling its infield with the help of the transfer portal. North Carolina State’s Tommy White blasted 27 home runs as a freshman for the Wolfpack, Baylor starting shortstop Jake Pineda is also heading to BAton Rouge after hitting three-hundred last season. And Vanderbilt shortstop Carter Young is also on his way to LSU.

Louisiana Tech baseball is getting some players out of the transfer portal. Texas A-and-M pitcher Rawley Hector has announced he’s heading to Ruston to play for the Bulldogs next season. Hector appeared in just nine games for the Aggies last season and had an E-R-A close to eight.

And Baseball Coach Lane Burroughs has named Cooper Fouts to his staff. He’ll serve as the team’s recruiting coordinator and pitching and catching coordinator. Fouts was formerly at Purdue and has 16 seasons of collegiate coaching experience including two stints at Pepperdine.

U-N-O second baseman Amani Larry is transferring to Mississippi State. The former Parkway star finished third in the Southland this past season in batting average and runs driven in. He led the league in runs scored with 67.

Former LSU Tiger and most recently a Rams Super Bowl Champion, Andrew Whitworth, will serve as a studio analyst for Amazon’s broadcasts of Thursday night football. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is up for an ESPY for comeback player of the year.
