Seems like a decision is nearing from former Oregon star Junior Lauaki (@junior_lauaki) as he teased his top three on TikTok earlier today.

Lauaki is listed as an infielder and right-handed pitcher on Oregon’s roster. Out of Springville (Utah) High School, he was one of the top pitchers and overall prospects in the state. The 6-5, 265-pound right-hander has yet to pitch, however, in an Oregon game.
After redshirting in 2025 due to injury, Lauaki put up big numbers at the plate. In 41 games, Lauaki logged 134 at-bats. He slashed .321/.370/.687, collected 37 RBIs. He had 43 hits and also reached base on 7 walks and 4 HBPs. Lauaki’s impressive slugging numbers come from 14 home runs and 7 doubles.

Plenty of SEC baseball fans will be watching closely to see which team lands Lauaki’s big bat out of the portal.
