LSU's Ashton Larson named an All-Star in the Cape Cod League

LSU freshman outfielder Ashton Larson played for the Chatham Anglers in the Cape Cod Summer League after having a good season with the Tigers. He carried that momentum to the Anglers and has been recognized as an All-Star in the Cape Cod League.

Larson played 19 games for the Anglers and finished with a .300 batting average, eight stolen bases and eight RBI. He will start in the outfield for the East Division in the All-Star game.

Larson finished his freshman season at LSU with a .298 batting average. He had nine doubles, three homers, and 16 RBI in 53 games played. The future of LSU baseball looks bright in the outfield between Larson and Jake Brown. Both young guys had great seasons this year and both are having outstanding performances for their Cape Cod teams.

After the offseason LSU has had, Jay Johnson will have one of the best teams in the country once again next spring.
