Right Field Review: J.B. Woodman carries Ole Miss past LSU

While y'all were worried about bong videos at the NFL Draft, Woodman was busy beatin' the hell outta LSU.

When J.B. Woodman showed up in Oxford as a high school All-American, he was billed as a five-tool player—baseball's distinguished label for a guy who can do it all. Through his first two seasons, we saw encouraging glimpses of those tools—hitting for power, hitting for average, arm strength, speed and fielding ability—but it wasn't until this, his junior year, that he's shown all five with consistency. With three weeks to go in the regular season, Woodman leads the team in RBI, homers, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and stolen bases, while having just two errors to his name and ranking third in batting average.
