Baylor baseball loses emerging outfielder Hunter Simmons to season-ending injury

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

Baylor baseball senior outfielder Hunter Simmons suffered a season-ending right leg injury in Friday night’s series opener against No. 22 Indiana, head coach Mitch Thompson announced on Monday.

Simmons is the latest of four batters who will be sidelined for the entire 2024 season, as he had successful surgery on Saturday to repair an ankle fracture that he suffered after crashing into the left-field wall trying to chase down a deep fly ball. Redshirt sophomore outfielder Gavin Brzozowski, sophomore infielder Jack Little and freshman outfielder John Youens are the others who will miss the full season.
