LSU baseball brings 7 top-100 signees to campus after 2024 MLB draft

The 2024 MLB draft really couldn’t have gone much better as far as LSU’s purposes go.

While things were mostly chalky when it came to current players — with Jared Jones and Michael Braswell III announcing their returns to Baton Rouge after they weren’t selected. And while several of LSU’s top high school signees — namely Konnor Griffin , Cam Caminiti and Kale Fountain — will sign with a professional club, the Tigers are bringing in an unreal freshman class.

In total, seven top-100 signees will reach campus. That’s in addition to a transfer portal class that already ranks No. 1 in the nation .

Outfielder Derek Curiel announced his decision to attend LSU ahead of the draft, and he was joined by elite pitching commit William Schmidt and prized catcher Cade Arrambide .

The Tigers had a disappointing season in 2024 coming off a national title campaign. Though they turned things around in the back half, they couldn’t get out of the Chapel Hill Regional.

Now, coach Jay Johnson is reloading with a roster that looks to be as competitive as any in the country.
