The Tiger second baseman was selected in the second round, 78th overall, by the Toronto Blue Jays on day one of the 2022 MLB Draft.
Doughty was maybe LSU’s most clutch bat this past season, providing two walk off hits: the first was a walk-off single against Missouri, and the other was a homer against Georgia. Doughty hit .298 with 15 homers, 57 RBIs, and led LSU in doubles with 19. In the Hattiesburg Regional Doughty hit 8-18 (.444) with three home runs, six RBIs, and score seven runs.
