With a lineup full of talent, LSU baseball released its 2023 poster, calling itself
“The Powerhouse of College Baseball.” The nickname serves as a nod to
both the players and the fans who always bring the energy to the stadium.
On Thursday, March 30, the opening night of the Tennessee series broke
the home game attendance record, with 13,068 fans packed into Alex
Box. Whether the game is at home or away, you can count on LSU fans to
create an electric environment, and the players respond accordingly. Dylan
Crews and Tommy White boast some of the best bats in the nation, while
right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes and multi-time SEC All-Defensive team
member Tre’ Morgan take care of things on the field. The Tigers expect to
have a presence in the MLB draft, with Crews and Skenes both prospective
top picks. The pair has been awarded several honors. Skenes was named
the 2023 SEC Pitcher of the Year and is making a run at LSU’s single-season
strikeout record. Crews was denoted the 2023 SEC Player of the Year,
becoming the first athlete to ever win the award in back-to-back seasons.
No matter how the season concludes, the future is bright for the program
and the players moving on.
