Scouting Report: Jared Serna
Miami Marlins | SS
Overall
Summary
LSU freshman catcher Omar Serna Jr. has been dealing with a back injury for approximately one week as of early May 2026. The injury forced him out of the lineup for LSU's 13-6 win over Tulane on Tuesday, and his availability for the weekend series against Georgia was uncertain. Coach Jay Johnson expressed optimism about Serna's recovery, noting that despite the back issue, Serna has maintained exceptional performance with five extra-base hits and three home runs in recent games, hitting balls at 110+ mph. Johnson stated "nothing is wrong structurally" with the injury. Serna has been one of LSU's best hitters this season with a .319 batting average, 7 home runs, and a .936 OPS. He is considered one of the most talented players on the team and is critical to LSU's NCAA tournament hopes.
