Louis Coleman

After three seasons spent largely in relief, Louis Coleman declined to sign as the Washington Nationals' 14th-round selection in the 2008 Draft and returned to LSU to emerge as the Tigers' ace in 2009. Coleman struck out 105 batters in 90 1/3 innings, compiling a nifty 10-2 record to lead LSU to its first conference title since 2003. Coleman earned Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year honors for his dominance and contribution to his team's success.
