How former LSU College World Series hero Ty Floyd is faring in the minor leagues
Former LSU pitcher Ty Floyd carved out a starting role in the minor leagues following a season-long injury list stint in 2024.

The Reds selected Floyd at No. 38 overall during the 2023 MLB Draft. After not making an appearance that year, Floyd went on the season-long injured list as he underwent shoulder surgery.
According to MLB.com, Floyd is the Reds' No. 17-ranked prospect. The site lists Floyd's ETA as 2025. Floyd isn't the only former LSU pitcher in the Reds' system, he's joined by Luke Holman.
Floyd spent three years in Baton Rouge, ending his collegiate career as a national champion. In 2023, he made 19 appearances, including 17 starts, posting a 4.35 ERA and 120 strikeouts through 91 innings. In the first of the three-game championship series against Florida, Floyd went eight innings with 17 strikeouts to power the Tigers to a win.
