Steven Milam, LSU baseball's shortstop, will return for his senior season by removing his name from the 2026 MLB Draft. His mother confirmed this decision on social media. LSU coach Jay Johnson had anticipated Milam's departure as MLB projections rated him as a possible seventh-round pick. With Milam's strong defensive record, having committed fewer than 10 errors in over 125 games, his return is a boost for LSU. The team has also bolstered its infield by acquiring Dawson Park and Cade Kurland from the transfer portal, adding more experience to the squad for the upcoming season.
