LSU baseball’s Hayden Travinski named 2023 Shreveport Sportsperson of the Year
After winning a national title with LSU this past season, catcher Hayden Travinski is adding a piece of personal hardware.
Travinski was named the 2023 Carl Mikovich Shreveport Sportsperson of the Year by the Independence Bowl. The Shreveport native played his high school ball at Airline High School and Loyola College Prep.
A starter at catcher as a redshirt junior, Travinski batted .356 with 10 home runs — two of which came in the regional — and 30 RBI this season. He battled injuries in the latter part of the postseason and missed some time, but he was a major bat for the Tigers all year.
