Former LSU baseball second baseman Daniel Dickinson officially inked a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Dickinson was selected in the sixth round, the No. 185th overall pick, in this year’s MLB Draft. According to Bryan Lazare, Dickinson’s deal is $325,00, which puts him $20,000 below slot value.
There wasn’t much doubt about Dickinson’s plans and a return to LSU was always unlikely, but this makes it official.
Dickinson spent one year with the Tigers after beginning his career at Utah Valley State. Dickinson posted an OPS over 1.000 in both of his seasons at Utah Valley, which made him sought-after when he entered the transfer portal ahead of the 2025 season.
Dickinson was a key cog in the LSU lineup as the Tigers won the College World Series. Dickinson hit .315 with 12 home runs and 14 doubles. He nearly walked as much as he struck out with a 40/42 ratio.
Dickinson finished his college career with a .351 batting average and 1.051 OPS.
Here’s what the MLB.com scouting report had to say about Dickinson ahead of the draft:
“Dickinson excels at making contact with a simple right-handed swing and outstanding hand-eye coordination. He controls the strike zone well, uses the entire field and has no obvious weaknesses at the plate. There are questions about how much impact he’ll make with wood bats, however, because he has average raw power at best (mostly to his pull side) and slashed .182/.311/.222 between Team USA and the Cape Cod League last summer.”
