The LSU Tigers are hoping to win their third College World Series championship in the last four years, but lost a lot of talent. Thanks to a star-studded transfer portal class, they should be retooled enough to compete.

Jay Johnson and crew added 16 transfers across both D1 and JUCO ranks. Many of them are going to contribute this season, but some are expected to be among the team's best players.

Here are four of the most anticipated transfers:

Tigers fans were quickly introduced to Yorke on opening day as he went yard in his first at-bat. That's what he's expected to do a whole lot this season.

The 6-foot-2, 295-pound first baseman packs as much power as he looks like he does. He comes over from the Grand Canyon Antelopes, where he became the all-time home run and RBI leader in just three seasons.

Yorke posted a .339/.447/.632 slash line last year with 13 home runs and 46 RBI. He had a 147 wRC+, which is very impressive. He should be in for a major year at the plate.

Moore will get his first action in an LSU uniform on Saturday, earning a weekend starting role off the bat.

The 21-year-old spent his first two collegiate campaigns with the Kansas Jayhawks in the Big 12. He has a career 3.98 ERA over 44 appearances and 14 starts, all of which came last season. He averaged just over six innings per start last year and went eight innings four times.

He was consistent last year. He needs to carry that over and be a steady arm in the rotation. The Tigers' pitching staff is replacing two star pitchers, so the shoes will be hard to fill. If Moore tries to do too much, it could backfire.

Caraway will begin the season in the hot corner. He was a bit inconsistent as a sophomore last year with the Oregon State Beavers, but has a ton of potential to hopefully cash in on.

He slashed .265/.350/.470 with 12 home runs and 47 RBI. He had an 86 wRC+, which suggests plenty of room to grow at the plate. His swing should translate well to Baton Rouge, though. 

The third baseman was a top draft prospect last year, but ended up going back to college after not getting selected. It was probably him weighing the offer from the Tigers with signing bonuses from the draft. Either way, he should help out this year.

Lachenmayer spent just one year with the North Dakota State Bison, where he was a dominant reliever as a freshman.

The southpaw posted a 2.37 ERA with 56 strikeouts and nine saves over 24 appearances and 38 innings of work. With LSU promoting Casan Evans from high-leverage reliever to Friday starter, they need another impact arm out of the bullpen.
