Jensen Hirschkorn, a towering 6’7” LSU pitcher with a 97 mph fastball and a solid arsenal, was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the third round—84th overall—with a slot value of nearly $1 million. Ranked 56th in the draft by MLB scouts, he’s the latest standout LSU commit to get picked, following Logan Schmidt. With high-level talent flooding LSU’s roster, it’s likely Hirschkorn won’t even make it to campus—proving how elite his game already is.
