Baker Earns Big 12 Weekly Honor

FORT WORTH – For the second time this season, freshman Luken Baker has been tabbed the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

Baker led TCU with a .538 average over four games last week as the Forgs went 3-1. Along the way, he posted a pair of three-hit games and a trio of multi-RBI contests.

Against UT Rio Grande Valley, Baker reached base all four trips to the plate, going 1-for-1 with three walks in addition to driving in three runs. In Friday’s opener against Gonzaga, Baker served as the starting pitcher and designated hitter. He allowed a pair of runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings with two walks and two strikeouts in a no-decision. He drew a walk in four plate appearances. In Saturday’s 10-2 win over Gonzaga, he went 3-for-4 with three RBI with his first hit of the game giving the Frogs a 2-0 lead in the first inning. In Sunday’s series finale, he was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI.

Baker was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week following the opening weekend of the season.
