Just shy of a week after being introduced as the new head coach for LSU baseball, Jay Johnson landed his first splash late Saturday night.
Jacob Berry, who was an All-American infielder for the Arizona Wildcats, announced on social media that he would be following his head coach to Baton Rouge.
The native of Queen Creek, Arizona is coming off a great freshman campaign, hitting .352 with 17 home runs and 70 runs driven in. Berry does have some Louisiana ties with his father Perry playing for the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns for two seasons in 1989 and 1990 before getting drafted in the fourth round by the Houston Astros.
