LSU baseball loses left-handed pitcher to Tennessee from transfer portal
Summary

LSU baseball's pursuit of Brody Trosclair ended on June 9, 2026, as he committed to Tennessee. Trosclair, a left-handed pitcher from Northwestern State, had caught the attention of several programs, including LSU, after a standout freshman season where he averaged a 1.89 ERA over 38 innings. LSU's pitching staff needs upgrades after performing poorly in the SEC, and Trosclair was seen as a key addition for the Tigers. LSU has added one transfer pitcher, Landon Hood from Gonzaga, but is expected to pursue more options before the transfer portal closes.
