    The top two-way player in the state, Tisone signed with McNeese State rather than LSU or Tulane so he could continue to see time at pitcher and shortstop. He played shortstop at the outset of his high school career, and there's little question he could be a productive college hitter. If he signs, he'll give that up and stay on the mound. He just started pitching a year ago, and his fastball has jumped from 87-88 mph to 89-91, with nice sink to boot. Tisone's slider is a plus pitch, his changeup is above-average and his curveball is a tick below-average. He's not huge at 6 feet and 180 pounds, but his stuff isn't short.
