2019 CBD TOP 100 COUNTDOWN: 12. ZACH WATSON (LSU)

One of my favorite players in all of college baseball is LSU outfielder Zach Watson.

In his freshman season when he helped take LSU to the College World Series final, he hit .317 in 221 at-bats with 42 runs scored, 9 doubles, 9 home runs, 37 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and a .376 on-base percentage.

That summer he hit .342 in the Northwoods League over 38 at-bats with a couple of home runs.

He had a slow start in his sophomore season and battled some injuries, but he wound up hitting .308 in 234 at-bats with 47 runs scored, 15 doubles, 7 home runs, 34 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and a .366 on-base percentage.

This past summer he hit .382 in 34 at-bats in the Cape Cod League, while also spending time with the US Collegiate National team.

Watson is a great outfielder who gives you a lot of everything with power and speed. The one thing I would love to see him improve upon in his junior season is his on-base percentage.
