proven power bat, but the 2026 LSU stint was a mixed bag
Caraway arrived at LSU as a highly regarded Oregon State transfer, ranked No. 29 among D1 Baseball’s top third basemen for 2026 and No. 54 among Perfect Game’s top collegiate juniors, with a track record of pop and run production after hitting .281 with 14 homers in his first two college seasons. In 2026 at LSU, he played 30 games and hit .243 with 2 homers, 16 RBI, and 3 extra-base hits, showing some offensive juice but not quite matching the preseason hype. He’s the kind of infielder teams target for experience, physicality, and upside, though his LSU season also suggests some volatility.
