Expectations are ingrained into the fabric of the LSU baseball program, but it's a pressure to perform that tested Landon Marceaux in a different way than most.
His résumé was decorated before he even threw a pitch for the Tigers: Perfect Game's No. 1 rated player in Louisiana, a draft choice of the New York Yankees, Team USA World Cup gold medalist, and three-time 1st Team All-District selection were just a few of the feathers in his cap.
In three preseason scrimmages as a freshman, Marceaux threw 10.2 innings, giving up no runs, tallying 17 strikeouts.
