re: LSU Adds USCe Shortstop

This guy is an absolute stud. Had a great freshman year, slumped a bit this year. Needed a change of scenery.

Could also pitch, apparently.

I asked my friend that lives in Columbia, SC who is a big SC baseball fan and attends as many games as possible:

What can you tell me about this ex-SC baseball player? I read he can also pitch.

And here is his response:

I’ve been so busy at work I hadn’t even seen this.

I *love* this kid. I’m disappointed he decided to leave. He came out strong last year as a freshman, then in mid-season, when opponents finally got a book on him, he struggled a bit. Started 2023 on the bench, but started a stack of games with injuries to McGillis and Wimmer. He was instrumental in the dominant Columbia Regional.

He may not be a starter next year at LSU, but he won’t be a disappointment.

I never saw him pitch. No idea it was an option.

Kingston probably wouldn’t give him the opportunity.
