WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The amount of talent across the LSU and Tennessee teams will attract national attention. Both pitchers are projected high first-round draft picks, while LSU’s Dylan Crews is currently leading the nation with a .542 batting average and a 23-game hitting streak. Tennessee’s most highly-touted position player is Maui Ahuna, a transfer shortstop from Kansas. While his hitting stats aren’t the best on the team, he might be the most talented defensive player LSU faces, as he is a projected No. 22 overall pick in this year’s draft.
