LSU baseball transfer portal tracker 2025: Who’s in, who’s out for the Tigers?
LSU baseball was very busy in the transfer portal last offseason, adding 12 Division I transfers and four players from the junior college ranks to a roster that was two outs away from reaching a super regional in 2024.
Many of those additions became key pieces to its team in 2025. Junior Daniel Dickinson has been a middle of the order staple all season, and junior right-hander Anthony Eyanson has emerged as one of the top starting pitchers in the nation.
Particularly on the mound, LSU won’t have as many holes to fill on its roster as it did last offseason. Eyanson and junior left-hander Kade Anderson are destined for the MLB Draft, but the Tigers have four freshman arms projected to return and a number of veterans — including junior Zac Cowan and redshirt junior Jaden Noot — who may come back for another season.
At the plate, the Tigers have the chance to bring back their starting outfield and sophomore shortstop Steven Milam, but holes could emerge at third base, first base and second base with senior Michael Braswell out of eligibility and Dickinson and junior Jared Jones off to MLB.
With the portal opening on June 2, here’s an updated look at what LSU has done in the transfer portal this summer.
Who’s in?
Brayden Simpson, 3B — Simpson blasted 22 home runs and posted a 1.251 slugging percentage last season at High Point. In three seasons with the Panthers, he hit 37 homers and had a 1.037 OPS. He spent the majority of his time at third base this season but he also spent 52 games at first in 2024.
Who’s out?
Ryan Costello, 1B — Costello enters the transfer portal, according to On3 Sports, after accruing eight at-bats this season as a freshman for the Tigers. The New Jersey native arrived at LSU as the No. 2 first baseman in the nation, according to Perfect Game.
