LSU's Kade Anderson showcased his skills in Game 1 of the Men's College World Series, making a strong case for being the top pick in the upcoming MLB Draft. The southpaw pitched a shutout against Coastal Carolina, leading LSU to a 1-0 victory.

Anderson, a highly ranked prospect, delivered an impressive performance with eight innings pitched, three hits, zero runs, five walks, and 10 strikeouts on 130 pitches. His dominant outing ended Coastal Carolina's 26-game winning streak.

MLB Pipeline ranks Anderson as the No. 3 prospect in the draft, with the Washington Nationals considering him for the top pick. His standout pitching, featuring a variety of effective pitches, including a mid-90s fastball, slider, and changeup, solidified his status as a top talent.

Despite strong pitching from Coastal Carolina, LSU managed to secure a narrow victory with a lone run in the first inning. The team will aim to clinch the NCAA title in the next game scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
