Brayden Jobert played an essential role for the LSU Tigers as they clinched the College World Series title on Monday. It's safe to say that the hitter boosted his draft stock ahead of the 2023 MLB Draft.
According to reports, Jobert stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 209 lbs. The 23-year-old has the power and bat speed to hit big home runs. He is also quick and can cover ground quickly as a base runner.
There are a number of talented hitters in the 2023 draft pool and many analysts believe that Jobert will be picked in the third round of the upcoming draft. However, after concluding an impressive season with the Tigers, the left-handed batter is projected to go early in the second round. In 2022, Jobert earned Second-Team ABCA All-South Region honors.
After winning the CWS title with LSU, Jobert said:
"I've been dreaming about this moment since I was 4 years old. ... I'm super blessed."
