A Baton Rouge return after the pro leagues

A Louisiana feature describes Watson's move from Ruston to LSU and his selection by Baltimore in the third round of the 2019 draft. After affiliated and independent baseball, a former coach encouraged him to try Banana Ball. The Tailgaters' 2025 visit to Alex Box Stadium brought him back to a familiar field in a very different kind of game. His stats here let LSU fans follow that new chapter.
