Former LSU catcher Hunter Feduccia called up to major leagues by Dodgers – Crescent City Sports

BATON ROUGE, La. – Former LSU catcher Hunter Feduccia has been promoted to the active roster of the Los Angeles Dodgers and will join the team in Houston this weekend for the series against the Astros.

Feduccia, a native of Lake Charles, La., who played at LSU in 2018, is the 85th major leaguer in LSU Baseball’s illustrious history. He joins Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes as the second former LSU player to reach the Major Leagues this season.

LSU has had at least one former player make his MLB debut in 30 of the last 34 seasons.

Feduccia, a Barbe High School alum who transferred to LSU from LSU-Eunice, started 48 games at catcher for the Tigers in 2018 and had a .233 batting average with 10 doubles, one triple, three homers, 31 RBI and 22 runs scored.

He was selected in the 12th round by the Dodgers in the 2018 MLB Draft and went up to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he had a .295 batting average with a .420 on-base percentage and a .451 slugging percentage in 64 games this season.

On Friday in Oklahoma City, Feduccia drew a walk to extend his career-best on-base streak to 28 games, the longest on-base streak of the season by an Oklahoma City player. During the streak that began on June 6, Feduccia collected 27 hits with 17 RBI, 27 walks and 12 runs scored.
