LSU freshman pitcher Carson Baranik was arrested early Saturday morning on a DWI charge.
Baranik, 19, of Bossier City, was pulled over for running a red light and reckless operation of a vehicle. He was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison at 3:35 a.m.
“Obviously we were very disappointed with what happened, and it’s not anything that’s indicative of the rest of the LSU baseball players, and it’s not any kind of behavior that I will tolerate as a baseball coach,’ said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “He made a terrible mistake and he’ll have to suffer the consequences of it. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and hopefully he can learn from his mistake.”
Mainieri suspended Baranik indefinitely Saturday and said no timeline has been set for the freshman’s return.
“We’ll monitor the situation,” Maineri said. “I’ll meet with our administration this week and we’ll decide what exactly the repercussions will be.”
