No.1 LSU and No.10 Tennessee will face off in one of the most anticipated games of the year in college baseball.
LSU was the king of SEC baseball for over 30 years. LSU head coach Jay Johnson has done a fantastic job in recruiting as well as fixing its biggest weaknesses last season through the transfer portal. Due to the return of outfielder Dylan Crews and 1B/LF Tre Morgan as well as swooping All-Americans pitcher Paul Skenes and third baseman Tommy White through the portal, LSU is the consensus No.1 overall team in the country.
However, the new kids on the block that reside in Knoxville, Tennessee have been the premier team of the SEC in the last few seasons due to Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello’s recruiting prowess and the development of his players, especially in its pitching staff.
