Donovan LaSalle, a Lake Charles native and Barbe HS alumnus, is majoring in Sports Management and wants to become a sports agent and stay involved in baseball. While his jersey number is #2 for the Cajuns, he wore #5 in high school and #19 and #3 at Oklahoma. St. so he’s not superstitious about Jersey numbers. His uncle is Dusty Baker, and he has fond memories of being a batboy with the Reds and Astros. Players like Joey Votto, Bryce Harper, and Aroldis Chapman are some of his favorite players. His favorite dish is his mom’s Vietnamese Pho, which is a beef or chicken noodle soup. His dad played baseball at College of the Canyons, and Donovan credits his baseball knowledge to him. He likes the brotherhood already established at UL, especially with the number of new players, and thinks the funniest guy on this year’s team is Cody Brasch.
