Love this coach and this program. Accomplished more than many thought they would this year. Love his approach, attitude and love for baseball.

[@AndrewClements-qy6ho]

Stop lying! They were ranked #1 starting the season. If anything they were overrated, or really under performed.

[@TucksNaughtyham]

LOL they were preseason top 5 and higher. Complete underachieved this year.

Coach Johnson you are the best coaches!! GEAUX Tigers!

LSU program is in good hands.

yep

Great run the last few weeks, coach and team! It’s hard to win back to back nattys

[@bobbright2891]

LSU is blessed to have this guy.

[@lesliehaygood4938]

Y’all can come back next year and win the whole thing

[@ivansalazar5448]

I think the MBL nor the NFL should NOT be allowed to sign high school players. It's a shitty situation to say the least!

[@beauxbeaux7]

The NFL can't lol

[@DARYLINGLE]

GEAUX TIGERS

[@vincentmiceli2554]

Coach Johnson will have a very busy summer. Tigers will lose at least 9 pitchers, three starting infielders, and 3 outfielders plus a DH and a very good catcher. Next year, we will need a program for the early part of the season to identify our guys

Needs to add BIG BEN to staff...................home grown spice.....

[@shanebrown4864]

Tommy tanks isn't coming back bro hate to break it to you!! He batted 300 plus through his career , with 50 r more rbis, and 20 plus homers each season!! Not to mention improved significantly defense wise this season. His draft stock doesn't get much higher!! I doubt jared jones comes back to either!! Lsu gonna have to reload!!

[@mack72711]

Nobody said he was coming back?

[@ivansalazar5448]

I do not disagree, but if they go and get drafted high, they spend a long time in the minors before making the transition to the big tent...

[@mohavie2360]

if Tommy Tanks and Bear Jones come back for another year, LSU will be in Omaha next year. i think both of them could use another year to work on their craft.

[@josephteston]

Yeah not happening They going pro

[@ethanevans3952]

Yeah you must not watch baseball, they are both gone

[@mohavie2360]

@@josephteston Jay said there is a chance Bear could come back so we will see.

[@ivansalazar5448]

No doubt!

[@gulfsouth6231]

​@mohavie2360 Tommy White is a junior and is a projected mid 1st round pick. His craft is just fine lol. He would lose all his draft leveraged if he came back also which no one in their right mind would do.

JJ is a snake

[@elchantajista]

Both tommy and jones are history, your hitters did good against 2nd string pitchers, that was evident in the SEC tournament, but a good pitcher not even. A starter shut you down north carolina shut LSU down , the big hitters look uninterested in the game, cause they have a big major league baseball contract coming their way

[@Dandychiggins2]

Stop, dork. They took a top 4 seed to overtime and should have won, were it not for an error. Started slow, but peaked late in the best conference in baseball. Go cry about your 3rd tier team
