Coming off his second National Championship in three seasons, LSU head baseball coach Jay Johnson has re-tooled his roster for the 2026 season. The Tigers return 19 players from last year's title team, and bring in a class of 20 newcomers via the transfer portal and the high school ranks. Johnson also received a much-deserved raise and extension this offseason, making him the highest-paid college baseball coach in the country.
The start of the 2026 season is still several months away, but now that the schedule has been released, Tiger fans are already eyeing several key matchups.
