| The votes are in, and as expected two Tigers are considered the top baseball players in the SEC. LSU center fielder Dylan Crews was named SEC player of the year for the second straight year, while the Tigers' Paul Skenes was named SEC pitcher of the year. It's the third time one program has swept the awards in the same year, following Georgia in 2008 and Florida a decade later. And well earned, considering how dominant both players have been this season. Crews and Skenes lead the No. 3-seeded Tigers (42-13) into the SEC Tournament on Wednesday in Hoover, Alabama. LSU will play the first game Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. against the winner of Tuesday's first game at 9:30 a.m. between No. 6 South Carolina and No. 11 Georgia, the team LSU just won two of three from this past weekend.
