LSU senior outfielder Gavin Dugas was chosen to wear the prestigious No. 8 for the 2022 baseball season.
The No. 8 is the LSU baseball equivalent of the football team’s No. 18. Per the baseball program, the No. 8 is given to “the upperclassman who exemplifies the spirit of LSU Baseball through his leadership and dedication to the program.”
“As I researched the team and players upon my arrival at LSU, Gavin was the clear-cut choice to wear No. 8 here this year,” new LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson said. “Not only is Gavin a great player, but he is a great competitor, a leader, has elite character, and constantly has a positive effect on his teammates and everyone around him.
