LSU freshman outfielder Ashton Larson’s stellar performance for the Chatham Anglers earned him All-Star recognition in the Cape Cod Summer League. Building on his impressive .298 batting average at LSU, Larson hit .300 in 19 games for the Anglers, stealing eight bases and driving in eight runs.

Larson’s success mirrors teammate Jake Brown’s outstanding Cape Cod showing, highlighting LSU’s bright future in the outfield. Their combined talents, along with Larson’s All-Star nod and starting role for the East Division, bode well for the Tigers’ prospects.

With these young stars and a strong offseason, coach Jay Johnson’s squad looks poised to rank among the nation’s elite next spring. Larson’s Cape Cod League triumph caps a remarkable freshman year, setting the stage for LSU next season.
