Larry started his college career with East Central (Miss.) JC, where he spent two seasons, before he transferred to New Orleans and put up a terrific .370/.477/.578 slash line with nine home runs and 16 stolen bases in 2022. He transferred to Mississippi State for the 2023 season, where the 5-foot-11, 190-pound second baseman served as the team’s leadoff hitter in the early going of the year before cooling down offensively throughout conference play. Overall he hit .297/.451/.512 with seven home runs and 16 doubles. Larry has a solid idea of the zone and doesn’t strike out often, with just an 11.2% rate in 2023 compared to a 14.7% walk rate. He has below-average power and hits a lot of balls on the ground—with all seven of his home runs going to the pull side. Larry will turn in plus run times from home to first and can make soft ground balls a pain for defenders, and also went 19-for-21 (90.5%) in stolen bases attempts in 2023. He’s old for the class and turns 23 shortly after the draft, but could be an interesting day three target as a middle infielder with some speed and a solid batting eye.
