What to expect from LSU for baseball opening season

It won’t be Zack Hess jogging in from the bullpen if LSU finds itself in position to close out a tight win against Notre Dame on Opening Night.

That much is certain as last summer’s internet sensation is LSU’s Saturday starter heading into opening weekend, leaving quite the void at the back end of the bullpen.

So who would handle closing duties if a save situation arises for the home team on Friday night? Not even LSU coach Paul Mainieri knows for sure on the eve of the 2018 season.
