- Hayden Travinski is wearing number 8 for LSU Baseball this year.
- Feels they're in a spot to turn the corner and compete for a national championship again.
- Thinks they have the best catcher situation than any team in the country.
- Excited about Jared Jones making a big jump from freshman to sophomore season.
- Michael Braswell is "definitely" playing short stop. Feels his development has been huge this offseason. Says he dominates on defense, but the biggest improvement has come on offense. Feels he's beginning to use his body better as a hitter.
- Thinks outfield is the deepest position on this team.
- Says he was surprised because he liked the pitch clock. Felt his hitters got comfortable with the pitch clock and they're more in tune with it than he thought they'd be.
- Likes hat he saw from Aiden Moffet this fall. Says some things that stood out to him was after he let up a run to UL and let the next guy on base, he turned around and got out of the inning with no more runs. Says last year he would've let that get to him.
- Says Cam Johnson has been amazing this fall. Says his physical talent jumps out at you. He does a phenomenal job focusing on one pitch at a time and he's glad he came here over the MLB.
- Feels the LSU fans make Alex Box the best home field advantage in college baseball. The regional and super regional were something special. Thinks the fans will always bring the energy, but thinks the Box needs to continue to invest in the stadium and change some things to keep up. Says that's in player development and amenities side, but they have other people for the fan experience.
- Calls NCAA baseball the best "competitive dynamic" in sports.
- Last years team set the SEC record for most draft picks in one year with 13.
- Says he's always going to have one of his best guys be a closer. Says winning close games is a hallmark of championship team, so he always needs a great closer.
- Thinks they have more than 3 starting pitchers on this team.
- There's going to be a "fight for the ball in competitive innings." Thinks they're deeper than they were by the middle of the year last season. They made it a priority to get competitive pitching.
- Says Brady Neal is still working through the injury that sidelined him last year. Says he got about 30 at bats at the end of fall and he's pretty confident he'll be ready soon. He may not be able to catch two games in a row though.
