Avenge the fallen: Pitchers stepping up in the absence of ace Bradford

By DJ Ramirez | Sports Writer

The way that Baylor’s baseball season has shaped up, you’d think it was a plot straight out of a movie.

The Bears faced several injuries to begin the season, but the one that packed the biggest punch was the loss of junior lefty Cody Bradford to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, sidelining him for the rest of the year.

Despite getting bitten by the injury bug, Baylor’s pitching staff has proven to be resilient. Redshirt sophomore Jimmy Winston and junior transfer Paul Dickens stepped up from their roles as relievers and into the starting rotation, stringing together strong outings to keep the Bears at the top of the conference.
