LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson this week discussed the 21 members of the Tigers’ 2022 recruiting class that have signed with the program ahead of his first season in Baton Rouge, and made it the top-ranked recruiting class in the country by Perfect Game.
It is a star-studded class that brings a variety of talent:
- 11 Top 100 players in the Perfect Game overall national rankings
- 10 players selected to play in the Perfect Game All-American Classic
- 4 of the top Junior College pitchers in the United States
- 13 players that are ranked #1 at their positions in their respective states
“Our entire staff has worked tirelessly since our arrival this summer to put this class together,” Johnson said, via 247Sports. “It features some of the top players in the country, and it will help accelerate our pursuit of getting the Tigers back to Omaha. There is high-end talent at every position all over this class, and it is a group that will complement the great group of returning players we will have in 2023.
