After taking down the Samford Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon, the LSU Tigers took the field looking to go 2-0 on the day with a second matchup against the same team.

The expected starters were ultra-productive in an eventual 11-0 win. Per the Tigers' team social media, Jason Wachs and Cade Kurland each launched two-run shots while Angel Laya hit a grand slam. Those are the early transfers paying off very well, and they didn't even have the most anticipated one in Bino Watters.

Game 2 was all about the freshman and the depth. The lineup they trotted out this time included six players from the Top 150 incoming freshman list. Here is what the team looked like:

RHP Cooper Sides

Sides was a top-100 prospect in the 2026 MLB draft. He's a 6-foot-5 hurler who can already get deep in his pitch mix. Sides is a similar level of prospect to that of William Schmidt, who got the start in the first game. He is going to be a large part of the future in Baton Rouge.

2B Malachi Washington
DH Lucas Nawrocki
3B John Pearson
LF Dominic Santarelli
SS Parker Loew
1B Dylan Minnatee
CF William Patrick
DH Jordan Martinez
RF Eddie Yamin

Here is where they were able to deploy Washington and Santarelli, two of the most anticipated freshman in this list. Many believe it was impressive to get even one out of the draft, let alone both. Jay Johnson has loaded up on talent in this class.

Santarelli showcased his powerful bat immediately with a three-run shot. His future is is bright as could be. He is going to be extremely fun to watch in Baton Rouge for these three years. He has been listed as both a first baseman and a left fielder, which usually goes hand-in-hand for a lot of prospects. Here, they had him in the outfield.

Washington had been listed as an outfielder, and likely does have a future there, but him playing second here shows just how versatile of a talent he is. He could play all over the field, really. His defensive ceiling is sky high. His bat has potential, too, but it's less of a sure thing. If he puts it all together, he'll be an star.

Nawrocki got to pitch in the first game, per David Billiot of And The Valley Shook, and now sees action as a DH. He is a legit two-way player, but leans toward pitching.
