LSU’s Kade Anderson on Coastal Carolina ahead of College World Series
LSU baseball sophomore pitcher Kade Anderson talks Coastal Carolina ahead of the College World Series in Omaha Saturday night.
LSU baseball ace Kade Anderson ended his college career with a bang on June 21 at the College World Series.
The left-handed pitcher, expected to be a top five pick in the upcoming MLB draft, was completely dominant against Coastal Carolina in Game 1 of the national championship series, tossing a complete-game shutout to end the Chanticleers’ 26-game win streak in the 1-0 win. The complete-game shutout was the first in the College World Series national championship series since 2018.
The draft-eligible sophomore is almost assuredly done for the season, as he threw 130 pitches on Saturday night. LSU can clinch the national title with a win on June 22, with Coastal Carolina hoping to force an if-necessary Game 3 on June 23.
Anderson extended his nation-leading strikeout total to 180 on the season. He entered the game with an 11-1 record and a 3.44 ERA in 110 innings.
Anderson walked five batters and hit two others, but his performance was still more-than good enough to take Game 1.
