The MLB released its updated prospect ranking for the 2025 draft. Five LSU players found their way into the list’s top-150.

Pitchers Kade Anderson, Chase Shores and Anthony Eyanson, along with infielders Daniel Dickinson and Jared Jones, represent the Tigers among the best draft prospects. The list, made up of high school and collegiate players, shows what the MLB thinks of each prospect’s talents heading into July’s draft.

Jones could’ve left for the professional ranks after last season, but decided to lead a loaded LSU lineup in 2025. Anderson worked his way back from Tommy John surgery as a reliever last year and is now the Tigers’ Friday starting pitcher. Shores and Dickinson increased their stocks by playing well so far, but Eyanson soared up the rankings thanks to exceptional performances in SEC play.

For a team stacked with future MLB prospects, LSU is well-represented among its opponents. Only Tennessee has more players in the rankings in terms of SEC schools.

Here’s where each of the five LSU players rank on MLB’s latest prospect list for the 2025 MLB Draft.

Kade Anderson, No. 9

Anderson returned to full action in 2025 and hasn’t disappointed. The left-handed pitcher increased his draft stock tremendously in his sophomore season with the Tigers by performing well against SEC hitters with a potent mix of pitches, headlined by his fastball.

With a 6-1 record, Anderson boasts a 3.57 ERA through 70.2 innings pitched. He ranks second in the SEC with 114 strikeouts to 19 walks. As a top-10 prospect, scouts give Anderson major upside as he has yet to fill out his six-foot-two frame and unlock top speeds with his four-pitch offering.

Daniel Dickinson, No. 66

Dickinson earned his ranking in an exceptional junior season with LSU, his first year of Power Four baseball. As the Tigers’ everyday second baseman, he boasts a .979 fielding percentage with just three errors. Dickinson bats .327 with 55 hits, 40 RBI and eight home runs. His .479 on-base percentage ranks sixth in the SEC.

Scouts rave about Dickinson’s hand-eye coordination and ability to be competitive in every at bat as well as on the base paths. While there will be an adjustment period going from using metal to wood bats, Dickinson will be an intelligent yet talented addition to his suitor’s minor league system.

Chase Shores, No. 78

Shores’ career at LSU has been up and down. He looked good as he mixed in as a midweek starter and reliever in 2023 before a Tommy John surgery cost Shores his 2024 season. This season, he claimed the Sunday starting role during nonconference play and pitched well, but couldn’t find the same success against SEC teams.

Despite the inconsistencies, scouts still regard Shores as a high-upside prospect thanks to a fastball that touches the high 90s. Shores has great speed variability with his breaking pitches but needs to sharpen his command as he moves to the next level.

Jared Jones, No. 90

Jones cemented himself as one of the best power hitters in college this season, ranking in the top 10 for multiple categories in the SEC. Batting .349, he has 68 hits, 16 home runs and a .667 slugging percentage. He had a hit in 13 of LSU’s first 14 contests and strung together multiple hitting streaks in SEC play.

Jones decreased his strikeout rate and is making more consistent contact. Scouts view him as a designated hitter in the pros due to his limited mobility at first base. His raw power and improved mindset at the plate make him a viable third or fourth-round pick.

Anthony Eyanson, No. 132

In his first year with LSU, Eyanson developed into an effective Saturday starter and turned up the heat as of late. He surrendered no more than two runs in each of his last three starts, capping it off with a complete game against Texas A&M where he allowed just one hit and struck out 14.

The slider in the mid-80s has been Eyanson’s best pitch with the Tigers. Scouts point out his need to land pitches in the strike zone more often rather than relying on motion to draw whiffs. He will likely be a bullpen option in the minor leagues as a fourth-round pick.
