Young was the first head coach in the history of the LSU Baseball program.[1] During his one season as head coach, he finished the season with a 1–0 record and (1.000) winning percentage.[2]
Prior to the only game of 1893 season, Young selected the materials for the uniforms to be used in the May 13th game.[3] He chose Old Gold and Purple and it was the first time a team from LSU wore the colors that were later adopted as the official colors of the university.[4]
