Where will the power come from for LSU Baseball in 2026? In this episode, Matt Musso dives into his biggest concern with the Tigers’ lineup this season: the absence of a proven, feared power bat capable of hitting 20 or more home runs. In an SEC loaded with arms, does LSU need a true middle-of-the-order slugger to succeed—or can a different offensive model work? Musso explains why elite power still matters in today’s college game, how a lack of a go-to power threat could impact LSU over the course of the season, and which players could emerge as the team’s primary sources of pop. He also examines whether a power-by-committee approach throughout the lineup is sustainable over a long SEC grind.
