Fresh off its eighth national championship, LSU baseball is looking to reload in the transfer portal.
One major hole to fill is at second base with every starter Daniel Dickinson heading to the MLB. The Tigers have a few options to plug in, but it would serve them better to bring in an experienced addition.
Enter Jarren Advincula, who started all but one game in the middle infield for Cal since he stepped on campus. A 2025 second-team All-ACC honoree, he batted .334 with 150 hits and 64 RBI through two seasons with the Bears.
The Santa Clara, CA native boasts a .970 fielding percentage over his two years of collegiate baseball. He enjoyed a 22-game hit streak midseason, which included three hits in a win at Duke, and then stroked three hits between Cal’s two upsets over Miami and Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament.
Advincula has enough quality experience as a hitter and fielder to join LSU’s starting lineup. The Tigers already received commitments from transfers Brayden Simpson and Seth Darder, but both are more suited for third base, as is returner Tanner Reaves.
LSU has become a premier transfer portal destination, but the Tigers have some competition for Advincula with Tennessee also making a push.
