LSU has secured its first high school signee for the 2026 MLB Draft class, with left-handed pitcher Braxton Beaty officially enrolling. Beaty, from Angleton, Texas, throws a fastball between 90-93 mph and features a slider and changeup. Perfect Game, a prominent baseball scouting service, rates him highly, noting his "super consistent performer with quality pitchability" and placing him at No. 222 on their draft board.
Beaty's commitment is significant for LSU's pitching needs. The Tigers have already added two right-handed transfers and now gain a southpaw with the potential to become a weekend starter. His Perfect Game grade of 10 signifies an "Elite level college prospect." With a delivery that is compact and allows him to work quickly, Beaty is poised to develop over his three guaranteed years, benefiting from LSU's coaching and strength programs.
