With LSU now just 11 days from Opening Day, the calendar is starting to matter. There’s no shortage of talent on this pitching staff, and the bullpen depth is clear. But through two scrimmage weekends, one development has stood out to me.
This episode isn’t about panic or predictions — it’s about timelines, evidence, and what we usually see from LSU’s front-line arms as the season approaches. I walk through the scrimmage schedule, recent performances, historical comparisons, and why this upcoming weekend is a key checkpoint.
Plus, weekend standouts and which arms are trending the right direction.
LSU baseball has had a clear formula under Jay Johnson. Every year, there’s been that guy in the middle of the lineup. The superstar bat. The one opposing pitching staffs had circled before the weekend even started.
This year feels different.
There may not be a clear 20-homer lock in the lineup, but this roster might have more power spread throughout the order than any of Jay Johnson’s previous teams. Instead of one centerpiece slugger, LSU could have damage threats from top to bottom.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why home run power matters so much in college baseball
• LSU’s power production under Jay Johnson
• The star-slugger model vs lineup-wide power
• Projected starters and why multiple bats could see power jumps
• How this lineup construction fits Jay Johnson’s coaching style
LSU’s power is still here. It just looks different.
Every offseason, the focus around LSU baseball seems to land on the same question. Who will make up the weekend rotation?
But history shows the season doesn’t hinge on having a clean three-man rotation nearly as much as it hinges on one thing: finding a true No. 2 starter.
In this episode, I look at how Jay Johnson has actually managed starting pitching at LSU, why the first month of the season is about evaluation rather than answers, and how LSU’s most successful teams found consistency at the top even when the third spot remained fluid.
I also walk through recent LSU case studies, explain how bullpen roles directly impact rotation decisions, and bring the conversation back to the current staff and why the next few weeks matter so much.
The third starter will evolve. It always does.
The season will hinge on who steps into that No. 2 role.
In this episode of Inside LSU Baseball, I rank the four most impactful transfer portal position players of the Jay Johnson era (2022–2025).
This list excludes pitchers and focuses strictly on position players who transferred to LSU and left a lasting impact on the program.
Some names are obvious. Others may surprise you until the context is laid out.
I also close the episode by previewing three standout portal additions from the current roster, using advanced hitting data like exit velocity, whiff rate, and swing decisions to tease whether any of them could land on a future list.
