According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, former LSU Tigers standout right-hander Anthony Eyanson is reportedly on the move. Eyanson is headed to the Baltimore Orioles as part of the blockbuster trade involving All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman. The report adds that Eyanson is the centerpiece of Baltimore’s return, underscoring his status as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball.
Eyanson cemented himself as one of college baseball’s premier arms during his time at LSU, developing into the ace of the Tigers’
pitching staff while becoming one of the most highly regarded pitching prospects in the country before beginning his professional career.
Now, he’ll become one of the cornerstones of the Orioles’ future as the organization looks to accelerate its next competitive window.
For LSU fans, the trade is another reminder of the program’s reputation for producing elite pitching talent. Eyanson’s rapid rise from Baton Rouge to becoming the centerpiece of one of the biggest trades of the MLB season highlights both his development and the value evaluators place on his long-term potential.
If Eyanson continues on his current trajectory, Baltimore may have landed a future frontline starter to build around for years to come.
