LSU got a huge boost once four of its top players decided to return for the 2017 season after getting picked in last year's MLB Draft.
Among those four, the LSU player that has probably improved his standing the most among pro scouts over the past year has to be right fielder Greg Deichmann.
Deichmann, who was selected in the 26th round of the MLB Draft last year by the Minnesota Twins, has turned into one of the best power hitters in the nation and helped lead the Tigers to this weekend's Super Regional against Mississippi State, which begins on Saturday at Alex Box Stadium.
