The hiring of Jay Johnson as the new baseball coach for the Tigers is already paying dividends.
From Dandy Don's website:
"The biggest news in the last couple of days was undoubtedly the addition of Jacob Berry to the baseball team. The former Arizona stud announced late Saturday night that he’d be joining the Tigers roster, which means LSU inherits an All-American that batted .352 with 17 homers last season. Berry earned numerous honors as a freshman last season, including the national co-freshman of the year recognition by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Berry served as a corner infielder and designated hitter with the Wildcats, but I think we’re safe assuming one position Berry won’t play next year is first base. Tré Morgan established himself as perhaps the best first baseman in all of college baseball last season, so third base tends to make more sense for Berry. As for how many years Berry will play in purple and gold, well, it could be just one if he continues to tear the cover off of the baseball. He will be eligible for the Major League Baseball draft after next season, and ESPN has him slated as a first-round selection."
Wow just wow. He is joining Tre Morgan and Dylan Crews. I can see a couple of eligible MLB draft players for LSU remaining to make an Omaha run. Offense is in place - need to get some good pitchers. I wonder in Marceaux might forgo the draft and return - and maybe Devin Fontenot. Throw Hillard in the mix.
I can dream can't I?

I think there is a good chance that Gavin Dugas might come back for another year. He led LSU in homers with 19 and had 66 RBI's which also led the team. Dylan Crews had 18 and now with Berry and his 17 dingers - pretty potent lineup the Tigers can put on the field.
The big question - can they get the pitching a team needs to make an Omaha run? Does Marceaux want an Omaha trip? He would be a huge returnee.

LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson’s completed full-time staff with Dallas Baptist’s Dan Fitzgerald in role of recruiting coordinator. The Tigers now have a complete new staff with the hiring of Dan Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald spent the past nine seasons at Dallas Baptist University where he’s served in the role as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. He could also coach third base and work with the infielders at LSU.
Fitzgerald, a native of Edina, Minn., is regarded among the nation’s top recruiters after regularly attracting Top 30 classes to Dallas Baptist.
D1Baseball ranked Fitzgerald the nation’s No. 17 recruiter in 2016 and Baseball America tabbed him the nation’s No. 7 assistant coach in ’18.
Baseball America also conducted a survey in 2000, polling 90 of the nation’s head coaches who listed Fitzgerald seventh as the assistant with the best chance to make a good head coach one day.
Collegiate Baseball ranked Fitzgerald’s 2016 recruiting class No. 27 in the country and his ’15 class No. 32 nationally.
Fitzgerald recruited 58 players that earned All-Missouri Valley Conference honors, seven of which were also named All-Americans since his arrival in 2013 until 2020.
He also signed 30 players that became Major League Draft picks, including 11 in the Top 11 rounds.
Geaux Tigers.

From Dandy Don's website:
Now for some news on the baseball front: Less than 24 hours after getting a big pickup from catcher Tyler McManus, who nearly hit .350 with 11 homers for Samford last season, LSU head coach Jay Johnson picked up another transfer from right-handed pitcher Eric Reyzelman. Rezelman had a 6.17 ERA in 35 innings pitched last season at San Francisco in a bounce-back season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2020. He’s now 14 months removed from the surgery with a fastball that tops out at around 97 m.p.h. He sounds like someone who has the potential to develop nicely under new LSU pitching coach Jason Kelly.
And speaking of LSU’s new pitching coach, LSU officially announced the hiring of Kelly yesterday. “Coach Kelly is excellent in the game in regards to his preparation and pitch calling,” said coach Johnson in a press release. “He is outstanding in the training environment, helping pitchers develop elite velocity, pitchability and pitch design.”
With the addition of Tyler McManus - that will give the Tigers four players whose batting average was over .350 last year. LSU is shaping up as having a very potent offense. I like the direction that new coach Jay Johnson is taking the Tigers. But like anything - we have to see how it plays out.

More good news for the Tiger baseball team. From Tiger Rag:
"Piece by piece, the band has gotten back together.
After senior pitchers Devin Fontenot and Ma’Khail Hillard said Monday they will return to the LSU baseball team for the 2022 season, starting left fielder Gavin Dugas followed suit Tuesday.
LSU announced Dugas will be back in 2022 after he wasn’t picked the MLB draft that ended Monday. It means that the Tigers’ starting lineup from its 2021 team that rallied to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals at Tennessee, is returning.
Last season, Dugas hit .295. He was SEC co-leader in RBIs (66) with Mississippi State’s Tanner Allen. Also, he was fifth in the league in slugging percentage (.641), 15th in runs scored (54), tied for third in home runs (19) and eighth in total bases (141).
Dugas was also voted MVP of the NCAA’s Eugene Regional when LSU roared back to win it after dropping the opener to Gonzaga."

Now the Tigers need to get some pitching. Hopefully we will get one or two good freshmen and maybe another transfer. Things are looking good for the 2022 brand of Tigers.
Geaux Tigers. Man I am drinking the Koolaide and it tastes pretty good.

From Dandy Don's website:
"In baseball news, D1Baseball ranked LSU DH/infielder Jacob Berry, infielder Cade Doughty, and pitcher Eric Reyzelman in their top 100 prospects from college for the 2022 MLB Draft. This has nothing to do with how LSU’s football season is going, but man, am I looking forward to baseball! With those three, plus returning veterans like Tre Morgan, Dylan Crews, Devin Fontenot, Ma’Khail Hilliard and an incredible class of newcomers — not to mention a new head coach — this could be the most exciting LSU team in quite some time."
I am looking forward to this year's college baseball season.

Thanks Tony.
Here is another update on baseball.
In baseball news, LSU released its 56-game 2022 baseball schedule, and it’s a dandy. LSU will play nearly half (24) of its regular-season games against teams that participated in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The daunting schedule includes road contests against defending champion Mississippi State and a regular season finale at Vanderbilt.
LSU’s non-conference schedule is highlighted by a trip to Minute Maid Park in Houston for the annual Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic. There, the Tigers will face Oklahoma, Texas and Baylor.
LSU begins its full-squad fall practice period on Friday, October 8 and will play two fall exhibition games at “The Box” versus New Orleans on Sunday, November 7, and versus UL Lafayette on Sunday, November 14.
In other baseball news, Coach Jay Johnson continues to tear up the recruiting trail. Just yesterday, class of 2024 standout John Pearson of West Monroe committed to LSU. John, an infielder and right-handed pitcher, is the younger brother of recent LSU signee Josh Pearson. Both are known for their slugging, as is their older brother, Jacob Pearson, who currently plays minor league ball for the Mississippi Braves. This latest Pearson commitment has the potential to help LSU with several of his teammates These include SS/C Hayden Federico, the son of UL-M coach Michael Federico, and fellow class of 2024 standout first-baseman Trey Hawsey. Pearson is also on a loaded travel team.

Wished I lived in Baton Rouge:
• The LSU baseball team will hold three intersquad games this weekend, and fans are invited to watch. Here’s this week’ scrimmage schedule:
Thursday: 6:15 p.m. Friday: 3:45 p.m. Sunday: 11:00 a.m.
I could make one or more of these intersquad games. I love college baseball. New head coach this year - it will be interesting how the Tigers do this year. Starting lineup is loaded. If the pitching turns out to be effective - should be a very good year.

Tiger played UNO in two 10 inning preseason practice games Sunday with the following results:
BATON ROUGE, La. – Catcher Tyler McManus went 3-for-5 with a towering home run to left field Sunday to lead the LSU baseball team to a 13-5 win in their first fall scrimmage against the UNO Privateers at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
The scrimmage against the Privateers was the first chance head coach Jay Johnson had to see his team in action against an opponent not wearing the purple and gold. The teams competed in two 10-inning sessions with a 30-minute break in between.
“It was great,” Johnson said. “One of the reasons you do this is so you get some type of feel for the real thing, and it’s good for our players.”
Game No. 1 LSU wins 13-5
In the first session of the day, which got underway at Noon, UNO jumped out to a quick lead in the first inning after a double down the left-field line and an RBI single. Junior Cade Doughty led off for the Tigers in the bottom of the first and smoked a double to the right-centerfield gap, but LSU was unable to capitalize.
For the remainder of the game, UNO scored four runs, while the Tigers scored 13. In the bottom of the second inning, DH Brayden Jobert reached on an infield single and McManus brought him in with a home run to left. After a walk to sophomore Brody Drost, transfer Jack Merrifield doubled down the left-field line to put two runners in scoring position for Doughty. He would bring in Drost with a single up the middle, and sophomore Tre’ Morgan would knock a run in on a sacrifice fly to center.
With the score 4-1 in LSU’s favor, the Tigers scored two runs in the bottom of the third after senior Gavin Dugas led off the inning with a double down the left-field line. A base hit up the middle from Drost would plate Dugas, and a throwing error by the Privateers allowed LSU to tack on another run.
In the fourth, the Tigers added three more runs, all coming with two outs. After Dugas drew a walk, Jobert collected a base hit. Senior Cade Beloso would step up to the plate with a runner on and smoke a two-run homer into the right-field bleachers to make the score 9-1.
“(Cade Beloso and Tyler McManus) are just mature hitters,” Johnson said. “They have a good number of at-bats under their belts. They separate balls from strikes; both of them have worked extremely hard since we got rolling at the end of August. Made a couple of swing adjustments, and they’re carrying them into their games and at-bats very nicely.”
LSU would plate two more in the bottom of the fifth, scoring a run for the fourth straight inning. The Tigers capitalized on Privateer mistakes, scoring on two wild pitches. Neither team would score again until the bottom of the ninth when Merrifield, Morgan, and Dylan Crews tallied base hits. Merrifield crossed home plate on Morgan’s double, and Morgan scored on Crews’ single to left field.
UNO added four runs in the top of the 10th after a walk, three doubles, and a wild pitch.
On the mound, LSU went to five different pitchers including transfer right-hander Eric Reyzelman. He finished the day with two innings pitched, retiring the side in both frames with three strikeouts.
“(Reyzelman)’s got a great arm,” Johnson said. “His fastball is getting up to 97, he’s pitching at the bottom of the zone, and he’s aggressive. I really liked his demeanor. I thought he pitched with a lot of confidence, a lot of conviction, and his stuff is plenty good enough. When he does that, he’s going to get outs.”
To start the day off, sophomore Javen Coleman pitched three innings, tallying four strikeouts, while only giving up one run. Following Reyzelman in the middle innings, sophomore Blake Money toed the rubber, pitching three solid innings. He gave up no runs on three hits and struck out two. Grant Fontenot and Jacob Hasty closed out the first session in the ninth and 10th innings.
NOTABLE STATS FROM GAME 1 VS UNO
Tyler McManus 3-5, HR, BB, 2 RBI Brayden Jobert 3-6, 2B Tre Morgan 2-4, 2B, BB, 2 RBI Cade Doughty 2-5, 2B, BB, RBI Blake Money 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 Ks Eric Reyzelman 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 Ks
Game No. 2 LSU wins 6-1
Just like in the first session, UNO got off to a good start in the first inning. The second batter of the session hit a home run to right field that put the Privateers ahead 1-0 early.
While the Tigers couldn’t get their bats going, UNO struggled to scratch any more runs across. LSU turned their fortunes, though, in the bottom of the fourth when Doughty smashed a double to straightaway centerfield. Morgan smoked a triple to the right-centerfield gap to score Doughty and tie the game.
Both teams remained at a stalemate until Beloso launched his second home run of the day halfway up the right-field bleachers to give LSU a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh. After Giovanni DiGiacomo reached on a base on balls, Brennan Holt and Will Safford bunted their way on base, showing off impressive speed.
Freshman Blaise Priester widened the lead with a double down the left-field line, scoring DiGiacomo and Holt, making the score 4-1. Safford scored on a wild pitch to make it 5-1.
After giving up the first-inning home run, the Tiger pitching staff was able to effectively limit the Privateers. Ty Floyd threw three innings and picked up six strikeouts, while only giving up the solo dinger.
Left-hander Bryce Collins came in to face one batter before freshman right-hander Cale Lansville took over. Lansville went 3.2 innings and tallied six strikeouts while allowing no runs on one hit. Right-hander Paul Gervase replaced Lansville in the top of the eighth and sat the Privateers down on strikes in order.
The Tigers tacked on another run in the bottom of the ninth after a single from Jobert and a double from Beloso to make it 6-1.
Is this the year for a return to Omaha - I sure hope so.

Morgan, a product of New Orleans, La., batted .357 (89-for-249) in 2021 with 16 doubles, four triples, six homers, 42 RBI, 64 runs scored and 15 stolen bases.
