For the second time in three years and the eighth time in program history, LSU is a national champion in baseball. The Tigers downed Coastal Carolina 5-3 Sunday afternoon to cap an undefeated run through the College World Series and climb back to college baseball's mountaintop.

LSU won the men's College World Series on Sunday, completing a two-game sweep of Coastal Carolina with a 5–3 victory. That win was the Tigers' second title in three seasons and continued an incredible run of dominance by the SEC. With LSU's victory, the SEC has now won six consecutive College World Series titles.

Anderson is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 3 prospect of the upcoming draft and is one of the top options for the Washington Nationals with the No. 1 pick. His main competition appears to be Oklahoma high school shortstop Ethan Holliday, son of former MLB All-Star Matt Holliday.
