MLB Draft Day 1 Recap: LSU’s 8 Picks & Kade Anderson Drama!

Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft is in the books — and it was wild for LSU fans! In today’s episode, we break down Kade Anderson’s surprising fall to No. 3 overall and what it means for his professional future. We also dive into the eight total LSU Tigers selected on Day 1, including four current players and four signees from Jay Johnson’s No. 1 recruiting class.

We take a closer look at each pick, where they landed, and how their selections impact both LSU’s 2025 roster and the long-term trajectory of the program. Who's a lock to sign? Who could still show up in Baton Rouge this fall?

Plus, we highlight some of the biggest surprises, team fits, and under-the-radar developments from the first round.
