In the very proud history of LSU baseball, few did it better than Blake Dean. Dean was one of the deadliest Tiger hitters ever, finishing second in school history in hits (332), RBI (260) and total bases (575), fourth in home runs (56) and fifth in runs scored (223). Thanks largely to his stellar play, LSU reached the College World Series in 2008 and then won the national championship in 2009. These days Dean is the head baseball coach of the UNO Privateers, currently in his sixth season with the school.
