Needing cleanup hitter, TCU turns to RBI-producing second baseman | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Cam Warner is stepping into the big hole Luken Baker left in the lineup. The second baseman has been great all year, and now even more will be expected of him.
“He kind of leaves some big shoes to fill,” Warner said. “I’m not trying to live up to his style of play. I’m just trying to play my style of baseball and help the team as I can.”
Warner is a career .292 hitter with 11 home runs, 26 doubles, a .411 slugging percentage and 91 RBIs in 124 games at TCU heading into the start of the Fort Worth Regional on Friday.
