LSU enters the season with its deepest, most talented roster yet under Jay Johnson — and the pieces are in place for a legitimate run at back-to-back College World Series championships.

In this comprehensive LSU baseball preview, we break down everything you need to know heading into the season, starting with the projected weekend rotation featuring Casan Evans, Cooper Moore, and William Schmidt, plus whether Zac Cowan or Cooper Williams can force their way into those roles.

We also dive into the bullpen hierarchy, identifying the key arms LSU will rely on late in games — including Grant Fontenot and Deven Sheerin — and how the Tigers may handle setup and closer duties.

Offensively, we run through the projected starting nine, examine LSU’s elite depth across the lineup, and spotlight the most competitive position battle on the roster: second base.

Is this Jay Johnson’s best LSU team yet? Is the depth good enough to sustain another championship run? We break it all down.
