Ethan Clauss is a polished middle-infield prospect with SEC upside
In the 2026 season, Ethan Clauss arrived at LSU as a highly regarded freshman infielder, ranked No. 65 among college freshmen by Prep Baseball Report and previously rated the No. 37 shortstop and No. 105 overall prep player by Perfect Game. His game is built on advanced hit-tool feel, steady defensive actions, and a mature all-fields approach that showed up in high school and again in brief LSU action, where he flashed a triple and run production in limited at-bats. The big question is playing time, but the upside is real if your team wants a clean, high-IQ middle infielder with projection.
