TIGERS
The LSU baseball program has demonstrated excellence on and off the field since Paul Mainieri was hired in June 2006. Along with achieving national prominence on the diamond, the program has recorded a perfect 1,000 Academic Progress Rate, reaching that standard during the 2007-08 academic year. “Having gone into this profession to be an educator and teacher, it is of course important for youngsters to fulfill their potential as baseball players, but it is even more important for them to earn their degrees and become contributing people in society once they finish their playing careers,” Mainieri said. Of the 113 baseball players that have concluded their collegiate careers at LSU during the 11-season Paul Mainieri Era, 77 Tigers have already earned their LSU degrees. Of the 77 that have graduated, 14 of those student-athletes actually graduated before entering professional baseball. In addition, 17 players returned to LSU in the off seasons while playing professional baseball to complete their degree requirements. Of the remaining 36 players that have not yet graduated, 35 are either currently engaged in their professional baseball careers or just concluded their professional career in the last two years, and many are working toward earning their degrees in the off seasons. In summary, 112 of the 113 players that concluded their collegiate playing careers at LSU under Paul Mainieri in the last 11 years will have earned a degree from LSU, will have played professional baseball, or will have both played pro ball AND earned a degree from LSU! Over the 11 seasons of Mainieri’s tenure, 115 LSU players have earned SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition, including a school-record 14 players in 2008.
