LSU senior outfielder Chris Stanfield has been named to the Southeastern Conference’s Community Service team along with 15 other league players.

A senior from Tallahassee, Florida, who transferred to LSU from Auburn after the 2024 season, Stanfield has been a fixture in the communities for his four seasons in the SEC. He was just named as a finalist for the Tony Gwynn national community service award after winning it last year.

Stanfield launched his “Be The 1” campaign at LSU last year in which he donates $100 to the Miracle League in Baton Rouge for every game that he produces an extra-base hit or stolen base. He raised more than $10,000 for the Miracle League of East Alabama while at Auburn.

He also volunteers with local elementary schools and hospitals, and he participates in the Out of Darkness Walk that supports suicide prevention. He is a three-time member of the SEC’s Community Service Team, and he was named to the 2026 Lou Gehrig Community Impact Team by Phi Delta Theta and the Live Like Lou Foundation.
