CJ Weinstein commits to LSU baseball

Jay Johnson and the LSU baseball program reeled in another talented commitment on Monday.

Left-handed hitting shortstop CJ Weinstein from Huntington Beach, Calif., announced via social media that he was joining the 2026 LSU signing class. In October, Baseball America dubbed Weinstein the No. 6 ranked uncommitted prospect in the class.

As a sophomore, Weinstein suffered a scary eye injury when a line drive hit him the face. He was able to return to baseball activities in the fall after six weeks away to recover from surgery.

Committed! Time to GEAUX to work!🐅 #thepowerhouse @LSUbaseball @LSUbsbrecruit @LSUCoachJ @CoachJordan2 @Jtsimpson44 @BenBadler @PerfectGameUSA @ShooterHunt pic.twitter.com/QJkPr88CwY
