The right hander stands 6-foot-3 and has a fastball that has been clocked in the mid 90s. He was committed to Pearl River Community College but has garnered interest from Ole Miss and Mississippi State in addition to LSU over the last few months.

He’s 12-0 with a 0.43 ERA as a senior and has struck out 166 hitters in 65.2 innings of work.

Stringer will be a draft risk this summer, but if he gets to campus, he could be an early impact hurler for Jay Johnson’s program
