LSU baseball star goes No. 1 overall in latest MLB.com mock draft
LSU baseball star goes No. 1 overall in latest MLB.com mock draft
After a strong outing in the Baton Rouge Regional, LSU baseball pitcher Kade Anderson continues to fly up the draft board.
In MLB.com's latest mock draft, Anderson is the No. 1 overall pick, heading to the Washington Nationals.
"The lefty is athletic, throws strikes and has a legit four-pitch mix. With all of his stuff ticking up in the Regional, it looks like he still has plenty in the tank, checking off the durability box. Oh, he'll also have just turned 21 before the Draft as a sophomore-eligible prospect," wrote Jonathan Mayo.
Anderson has been projected as a first-round pick all year and became a consensus projected top-10 pick in April. Now, Anderson is in the discussion to be the top overall pick.
If Anderson goes No. 1, he'll be the second LSU pitcher in three years to do so. In 2023, the Pittsburgh Pirates picked Skenes with the top pick. The same year, the Nationals picked LSU outfielder Dylan Crews No. 2 overall. Anderson would have a chance to join Crews in Washington.
In 96 innings, Anderson has a 3.28 ERA to go along with 156 strikeouts. Anderson is a draft-eligible sophomore and is enjoying a breakout year after working as a releiver in 2024.
After Anderson, Mayo slotted Tennessee pitcher Liam Doyle going No. 2 overall.
Anderson's next outing is expected to come on Saturday in Game 1 of the Baton Rouge Super Regional vs. West Virginia, though LSU has not officially announced its rotation.
