A Louisiana native from West Monroe, Pearson was a sophomore in 2023. He was a consistent presence in right field and the bottom of the lineup.
With several of LSU’s top contributors off to the professional ranks, Pearson will get a chance to earn a spot at the top of the lineup and compete for the starting job in center field.
Pearson hit .226 last year but hit .299 as a freshman. He has a career OPS of .871 with 12 home runs.
Other LSU players in the Cape Cod League are Jared Jones, Brady Neal, Paxton Kling, Griffin Herring and Justin Loer.
