Published by Zachary Ball on June 22, 2011
Few schools have as solid of a track record with draft-eligible sophomores as Louisiana State University.
Micah Gibbs and D.J. LeMaheiu are just two of the many players who have come through the LSU baseball program who achieved the status, which is granted to any four-year college player who turns 21 years old within 45 days of the draft.
