Rankings from D1Baseball

The 2021 LSU Tigers baseball team represented Louisiana State University in the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Tigers played their home games at Alex Box Stadium.

Previous season

The Tigers started the season 12–5, however the season was suspended and ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigers had not yet begun SEC play. As a result, two seniors–Matthew Beck and Aaron George–were given an extra year of eligibility. In the 2019 season, the Tigers won the Baton Rouge Regional in the 2019 NCAA Division I baseball tournament before losing the Baton Rouge Super Regional to Florida State.
