LSU postseason baseball is back at The Box, and the Tigers will kick off the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional at 2 p.m. CT on Friday, May 30.

The Tigers will face a Little Rock program that didn’t have a winning record this season, but stole a late bid by winning the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament.

LSU head coach Jay Johnson opened the week with a clear message as to one of the biggest questions ahead of the postseason: who starts in Game 1 given LSU has a pair of the nation’s best arms in Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson.

Or, could Johnson turn elsewhere?

“We’ll look at that and decide what we’re going to do … we won’t announce a starter for Friday,” Johnson said. “Everybody who knows me knows that. (Jaden Noot is) a possibility, too, but we won’t announce a starter until Friday.”

LSU heads into the postseason after beating Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament before losing to Ole Miss in the semifinals, and beyond pitching both Anderson and Eyanson in the win over the Aggies, the storyline was the lack of hitting for the Tigers combining for just seven hits and four runs in two games – with all four runs coming in the win over Texas A&M.

Still, LSU had a Top 8 seed locked in, and the program was announced as the No. 6 national seed for the NCAA Baseball Tournament on Monday.

The No. 6 National Seed marks LSU’s second appearance among the Top 8 seeds in the past three seasons. The Tigers were the No. 5 National Seed in 2023, when they claimed their seventh College World Series title.

LSU is a Top 8 National Seed for the 12th time since 1999, when the NCAA adopted its current 64-team tournament format.

LSU (43-14) is the No. 1 seed in the Baton Rouge Regional and Little Rock (24-32), the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament champion, is the regional’s No. 4 seed. The LSU-Little Rock game will be televised on the SEC Network and broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network.

No. 2 seed Dallas Baptist will meet No. 3 seed Rhode Island at 6:30 p.m. CT Friday in the second game of the Baton Rouge Regional, and the contest will be streamed on ESPN +.

The regional continues through the weekend, with the winner advancing to the NCAA Super Regional next weekend versus the winner of the Clemson (S.C.) Regional.
