Angel Laya, Oregon’s top freshman hitter with 14 homers and 47 RBIs, is transferring to LSU — a move that signals the SEC’s relentless grip on college baseball’s elite.

With seven straight national titles and a flood of top talent, the SEC’s dominance is only growing — and programs like Oregon must adapt fast if they hope to compete.
