Tanner Reaves brings left-handed pop, versatility, and a real shot to lock down LSU’s infield
In the 2025 season, Tanner Reaves gave LSU a useful blend of on-base skill and gap power, hitting .293 with a .391 OBP, .500 SLG, and 3 home runs in 36 games, while his offseason gains earned praise for adding strength and refining his defense. LSU coach Jay Johnson has described him as a versatile, high-athleticism player who can handle multiple infield spots, and Reaves himself has said second base is his natural home. He fits as a lineup-raising, adaptable defender with upside, especially if you value toughness and a player who keeps trending up.
