Jay Johnson and the Tigers secure portal commitment No. 2 on Tuesday, Hernandez reveals his pledge.
Jay Johnson and the LSU baseball staff continue attacking the NCAA Transfer Portal after reeling in their second commitment in as many days after adding Indiana State slugger Luis Hernandez.
The utility slugger finished his career with Indiana State batting .315 across his three years with the program. In 578 career at-bats, Hernandez tallied 182 hits, 118 runs, 32 home runs, 120 RBIs and has drawn 48 walks. Now, he's Baton Rouge bound as the first commitment for LSU during the offseason after seeing seven departures over the last seven days.LSU has lost a handful of pitchers via the Transfer Portal over the last few days, including starter Sam Dutton on Tuesday.For Dutton, his departure is a big one for the Tigers with Johnson's program now losing a handful of arms this offseason.
Dutton is the ninth LSU player to enter the transfer portal over the last eight days and the fifth pitcher, joining right-hander Micah Bucknam, left-hander Cam Johnson, left-hander Nic Bronzini and right-hander Aiden Moffett.Johnson has become the most significant loss so far, but not because of his current production. A player who has significant upside, it became a brutal departure due to the ceiling he attains.
He played in just six Southeastern Conference games in one season with the reigning National Champions.LSU right-handed pitcher Aiden Moffett has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after two seasons in Baton Rouge, he announced on social media on Wednesday. It's rare to have a second-year pitcher clocking 98 mph on the radar gun and Moffett has done it on a routine basis. A power pitcher, his fastball played a pivotal role in his success with the Tigers.
