Freshman pitcher/infielder Austin Bain is likely out for the fall with shoulder soreness, according to LSU coach Paul Mainieri.
Mainieri said the MRI showed no signs of structural damage, but it’s an issue the Geismar, Louisiana native will have to aid for likely the rest of fall practice.
The 6-foot-2, 200 pound prospect can dual as both a pitcher and an infielder for the Tigers. The 2014 All-District MVP out of Dutchtown High School finished his senior season with a .374 batting average and a 2.85 ERA.
Bain, as part of the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, was named a 2014 First Team All-District utility player and the 2014 All-Baton Rouge postseason pitcher of the year.
The news comes a week after Mainieri announced freshman pitcher Jake Latz would sit out the remainder of the fall with an elbow injury.
