The accolades keep streaming in for the LSU baseball team. D1 Baseball picked the Tigers No. 3 in its 2025 preseason college poll on Monday behind No. 1 Texas A&M and No. 2 Virginia.

LSU, which has the No. 1 freshmen class for the upcoming season according to D1 Baseball, will be trying to return to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, where it won the national championship in 2023. The Tigers were eliminated in the NCAA Regional round last season at North Carolina.

Perfect Game’s preseason poll had LSU at No. 2 in its preseason poll behind Texas A&M last week. Last July, Baseball America picked LSU as the No. 1 team entering the 2025 season.
