LSU infielder Daniel Dickinson was ranked the No. 12 draft eligible college player by Baseball America on Wednesday.
Dickinson hit .363 (90-for-248) with 14 doubles, two triples, 18 homers, 53 RBI and 32 stolen bases for Utah Valley in 2023 before entering the transfer portal. He’s expected to compete in a crowded LSU infield that returns three key contributors from last season in Steven Milam, Michael Braswell and Jared Jones.
Jim Callis of Baseball America writes:
Dickinson possesses one of the higher floors in the college class and transferred from Utah Valley State after batting .363/.468/.653 with 18 homers and 32 steals last spring. He makes consistent contact to all fields, has some pull power to go with average speed and shows fine instincts on the bases and at second base.
The Tigers open full squad practices October 10 at Alex Box Stadium.
