Richmond's own Javen Coleman chose to play for the Tigers at 16, so he had to demonstrate some patience, which would be important for the challenge he faced ahead.
Javen Coleman, a LSU Tigers pitcher who was homeschooled in his Richmond, Texas, hometown, is a member of the 2023 Men's College World Series team.Javen Coleman committed to play his college baseball for LSU when he was just 16 years old. With his college plans set at an early age, the left-handed pitcher knew he would have to be patient on his journey. He just didn't know how patient.
You see, Coleman needed reconstructive elbow surgery after injuring his arm in February 2022, in the midst of his sophomore season in Baton Rouge. Not only did Coleman, the only Houston-area product on LSU's 2023 baseball roster, return from elbow surgery in a little more than 14 months, he's now a newly-minted national champion. Coleman was one of LSU's starting pitchers in the 2023 NCAA Men's College World Series, an event the Tigers program won for the seventh time in its history.
