The LSU Bat Girls work as bat handlers for all LSU home baseball games with members serving as ambassadors for fans at Alex Box Stadium. Their duties consist of recovering foul balls, retrieving bats and helmets, answering fan questions, selling gameday programs, assisting with gameday promotions and giveaways and assisting umpires. LSU Athletics says they’re expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner both on and off the diamond.
