SEC Baseball Incoming Freshmen/JUCO's

Mathis for LSU JC transfer that will start at 3B - hasn't stopped hitting since he got to LSU
Hampton has a ways to go since he just joined the team from football - highly touted fr that turned down first round money - will compete for CF where no one has really emerged yet

LSU has a lot of sophomores that need to break out offensively but pitching should be really good with rotation of Henry, Marceaux and Labas - Walker will be midweek starter for now and Jaden Hill will use 95 mph fastball at back end of bullpen.

For Arkansas, I believe Deez will make a big impact.

Arky certainly didn’t have a set of Deez Nuts when they were trying to catch a fly ball for the championship.
