In Baton Rouge, excitement is building as the LSU Tigers have made some impressive additions through the NCAA Transfer Portal. This offseason, colleges across the nation witnessed a substantial increase in the number of players entering the portal, with a staggering 2,845 athletes looking for new opportunities in NCAA Division I baseball.
Among the noteworthy additions to the Tigers’ roster is Anthony Eyanson, a right-handed pitcher transferring from UC San Diego. The 6-foot-2 pitcher had an outstanding season last year, boasting a 3.07 ERA in 82 innings, striking out 85 batters. His ability to keep opponents at bay with a .190 batting average against him adds considerable depth to LSU’s pitching lineup.
Another standout is Deven Sheerin, who joins the Tigers from Mount St. Mary’s. Known for his power pitching, the 6-foot-5 righty recorded 109 strikeouts in just 70 innings last season. His fastball, which reaches speeds of 92-95 mph, is a formidable asset that can make a major impact in the upcoming season, especially out of the bullpen.
The influx of talent doesn’t stop there. Zac Cowan transferred from Wofford, bringing a 3.60 ERA and solid pitching skills. Standing at 5-foot-11, Cowan combines an effective upper-80s fastball with an impressive changeup, making him a unique addition to the Tigers’ rotation.
As LSU gears up for the 2025 season, the focus will be on how these transfers can blend into the team and elevate their performance. The increased competition will be thrilling to watch, and fans are eager to see how these new players will enhance the team’s chances for success.
Overall, with these strong additions from the transfer portal, LSU is setting its sights high for the upcoming season, while also contributing to the dynamic nature of collegiate baseball.
