LSU Baseball Outfielder Ashton Larson Enters Transfer Portal After Two Seasons

Several notable college baseball players have entered the transfer portal or committed to new programs ahead of the 2025 season. Troy University secured commitments from All-Conference players Nico Azpilcueta, a versatile hitter with a strong offensive record at Stony Brook, and left-handed pitcher Ben Stubbs from Flagler, both with one year of eligibility remaining. TCU added a veteran closing pitcher, Tanner Sagouspe from Cal Poly, who brings solid experience and a strong strikeout record to their bullpen. Meanwhile, LSU outfielder Ashton Larson, a former top prospect and Freshman All-SEC team member, has entered the transfer portal after limited playing time due to injury and competition in the outfield. Larson appeared in 87 games over two seasons with LSU, contributing to their 2025 national championship run but saw reduced role during the postseason. These moves reflect the ongoing reshuffling in college baseball as players seek more playing time and teams bolster their rosters.
