Longtime LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri will be officially inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this weekend.
The head coach of the Tigers from 2007-21, he won a national title in 2009 and reached the College World Series five times. His team also finished as the runner-up in 2017.
Mainieri retired following the 2021 season with an overall record of 641-281-3. In his 15-year career, he recorded four 50-win seasons including a 57-win campaign in 2013, which still stands as the program record.
He’s one of three LSU baseball coaches to win a national championship, joining legendary five-time champion Skip Bertman and Jay Johnson, who won his first title this past season.
Congratulations to LSU Legend, @NCAA College World Series Champion and four-time National Coach of the Year Paul Mainieri on your induction this weekend into the @LaSportsHall!
