FWST: TCU’s Evan Skoug has played mentor role well for Luken Baker

OMAHA, NEB. – Sometimes, his roommate reports, TCU’s Luken Baker brings his 0-for-4 day back to the room with him.
Just imagine the plundering and the pillaging.
But scratch that visual, please. Baker, the Horned Frogs’ resident Viking, doesn’t go 0-for-4 all that often. And when he does, he handles it with rare poise for a 19-year-old college freshman.
That’s what his roommate claims, at least, and Evan Skoug should know. Coach Jim Schlossnagle handpicked the sophomore catcher to be Baker’s mentor, his traveling partner on the road, during Baker’s first season.
