LSU baseball's Kade Anderson wins College World Series Most Outstanding Player

LSU baseball won its eighth national title on Sunday, sweeping Coastal Carolina in the College World Series Final. Sunday's final was 5-3, highlighted by LSU's four-run fourth inning.

As expected, pitching was the story in this series, and it's LSU pitcher Kade Anderson taking home the College World Series' Most Outstanding Player award.

Anderson tossed a complete game shutout in Game 1 as LSU won a 1-0 pitchers' duel.

In nine innings, Anderson threw 130 pitches, striking out nine and allowing just three hits. Anderson walked five, a career high, but the LSU star continually responded to work out of jams.

Anderson's first start in Omaha was in LSU's CWS opener vs. Arkansas last Saturday. Anderson went seven innings, allowing just one run and three hits.

In 16 innings in Omaha, batters totaled only six hits vs. the LSU lefty.

Anderson was one of the best pitchers in the country all year and has a chance to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
