The LSU Baseball team finished their season as National Champions, but they weren’t done winning just yet.

The 2023 MLB Draft began on Sunday at 6 p.m., and right from the start, LSU players heard their names called. By the end of the draft Tuesday afternoon, 13 current LSU players were drafted.

Paul Skenes was the first overall pick of the MLB Draft, as he was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the second pick, the Washington Nationals selected Dylan Crews. Skenes and Crews being drafted first and second marks the first time two teammates were taken with the first two picks in any professional draft.

But the Tigers weren’t done on Sunday. With the 38th overall pick in the MLB Draft, the Cincinnati Reds selected Ty Floyd. Floyd was the eighth pick in the Competitive Balance Round A.

Grant Taylor was the first LSU player taken in the second round. With the 51st overall pick, the Chicago White Sox selected Taylor, despite Taylor missing the season due to Tommy John surgery. His draft stock increased during his performance in the Cape Cod League last summer, and stayed firm despite missing the season. 

Tre’ Morgan was taken in the third round by the Tampa Bay Rays with the No. 88 overall pick.

Blake Mitchell was the only LSU signee to be drafted inside the first 15 rounds. Mitchell was taken with the eighth overall pick to the Kansas City Royals.

Below is a list of current LSU players who were drafted in this year’s 2023 MLB Draft, including the five taken inside the first three rounds, and a list of LSU baseball signees taken in the draft out of high school.
