    The 2021 LSU Tigers baseball team represented Louisiana State University in the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Tigers played their home games at Alex Box Stadium.

    Previous season

    [edit]

    The Tigers started the season 12–5, however the season was suspended and ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigers had not yet begun SEC play. As a result, two seniors–Matthew Beck and Aaron George–were given an extra year of eligibility. In the 2019 season, the Tigers won the Baton Rouge Regional in the 2019 NCAA Division I baseball tournament before losing the Baton Rouge Super Regional to Florida State.
