After pioneering the Pilots to a perfect 59-0 campaign this past season, Head Coach Brad Neffendorf was slated as the 2025 Rawlings-NAIA Baseball Coach of the Year. The honor capped off a historic season and added to a collection of accolades recognizing his leadership during LSU Shreveport’s record-breaking run.
Spring rains seemed to make their appearances on game days for large parts of this baseball season, particularly affecting the NAIA Baseball Regional held at Pilot Field in mid-May. Delays were the norm as rainfall throughout this past Regional and pushed games later as field crews and facility services worked tirelessly to prepare the field for play.
LSU Shreveport star pitcher Draven Zeigler is officially headed to the professional ranks, signing a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates after a dominant junior campaign that helped lead the Pilots to an undefeated season and the 2025 NAIA Baseball National Championship.
The accolades keep rolling in for LSU Shreveport baseball after its historic undefeated national championship season. The Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) recognized ten Pilots on its 2025 All-Louisiana Collegiate Baseball Teams, while Head Coach Brad Neffendorf was named LSWA Coach of the Year, further cementing LSUS’s place as the state’s premier collegiate baseball program.
