Summary
Grant Fontenot, LSU’s standout pitcher, was drafted 299th overall by the Kansas City Royals — a thrilling milestone for the Lafayette native after two stellar seasons with the Tigers, including a career-high in appearances and innings pitched in 2026. He joins Deven Sheerin as the second LSU pitcher selected this year, making four total LSU players drafted in this weekend’s event. Fontenot’s journey from college bullpen to pro ranks is a testament to grit, skill, and the payoff of relentless hard work.
