Rockies draft LSU pitcher Justin Loer in 13th round

With the 378th pick of the 2024 MLB draft, the Colorado Rockies selected Justin Loer, a left-handed pitcher from LSU.

Justin Loer transferred to LSU after spending two seasons at Xavier. During his time with the Musketeers, Loer had an 8-3 record with a 2.41 ERA. He made 34 appearances out of the bullpen in those two seasons. Last year for LSU, Loer had a 2-0 record and a 5.92 ERA. He struck out 30 hitters and walked 12 over 24.1 innings of work.

Loer won’t be the only former LSU player joining the Rockies pitching staff in the minor leagues. Yesterday the Rockies drafted Fidel Ulloa from LSU. They will be teammates once again if Loer decides to sign with Colorado.

Loer was just a junior for the Tigers last season so he still has a year of eligibility left if he wants to use it, though he entered the transfer portal following the season. Congratulations to Justin and his family on hearing his name was drafted in the 13th round.
