Rain delay has me thinking how both these two baseball programs will probably be battling it out for SEC baseball supremacy for the next decade or two.
Was pondering, which state has better overall in state home grown baseball talent?
Obviously Louisiana has way more football talent. But with baseball Tennessee honestly might have the upper hand. But I know very little about HS Louisiana baseball off the top of my head and was wondering what others might think about that question

True, but LSU produces much more MLB talent than Tenner does, although I will give it to the Vols that Vitello has done a great job sending guys to the pros.

Interesting.
I like seeing the numbers.
Both programs get their pick of talent nationally, too

Arkansas at 23.
That is pretty good for a state that is barely over 3 million in population.

Almost a 4% HoF rate too. Pretty insane.

Todd Helton I’m assuming?
Will say though Tennessee baseball in state talent this century keeps getting stronger seemingly as our state population and suburbs keep growing and expanding. Plenty of CY Young’s, MVPs, All Stars, ect. have been home grown Tennessee this state. Mookie Betts, David Price, Dan Uggla, Sonny Gray, ect off the top of my head. Plus all the young Tennesseans out in the pros now building a career for themselves.
Both Vanderbilt and Tennessee have built national championship winning rosters that were built using homegrown Tennessee talent as the cornerstones.

I’ve seen like 2 players from the state of Tennessee on the Tennessee team.

Here’s an article from MLB in 2020. Ranking states by most MLB players produced in MLB history.
* disclaimer: I didn't read the deets, maybe they did.
Regardless, those gays in Knoxville are new money. The only thing tenner produces is Morgan Wallen and that fat dude who switched from rap to country and three six mafia. 2 of the three are gay.
