No. 1 Second Baseman in Transfer Portal, LSU Baseball Target Pledges to ACC Program

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers remain in reload mode with the program attacking the NCAA Transfer Portal following a National Championship victory in 2025.

LSU has already reached out to a myriad of available transfers with the Tigers up to four newcomers pledged to the program as it currently stands via the free agent market.

But the Bayou Bengals have also been linked to multiple coveted prospects, including the No. 1 rated second baseball in the portal.

Cal second baseman Jarren Advincula is viewed as one of the top players available in the NCAA Transfer Portal with the LSU Tigers in the mix, according to On3 Sports.

In 2024, Advincula led Cal with a .325 batting average and was second on the team in both runs scored with 44 and hits with 69.

Fast forward to his second season with the Golden Bears and he was second on the team in batting with a .342 average.

He led the team in steals with 13 (in 15 attempts) and hits with 81. Advincula tied for the team lead in runs scored with 48, and had six home runs and 33 RBIs.

The West Coast stud is now in the Transfer Portal with a slew of SEC and ACC programs intensifying their pursuit.

LSU emerged as one of multiple programs preparing to battle it out for the talented infielder with the Tennessee Volunteers being viewed as a school to keep tabs on.

According to On3 Sports, Advincula recently visited Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Florida State as his process ramps up.

Fast forward to Thursday night and Advincula sent shockwaves across the college baseball scene after revealing a commitment to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
