Frogs in the Pros: Luken Baker makes MLB debut with St. Louis Cardinals

Former TCU slugger Luken Baker became the second Horned Frog to make his MLB Debut this season. Baker went 2-for-4 with two singles as the designated hitter for the St. Louis Cardinals during the team’s 2-1 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon. The 26-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2018 MLB Draft and spent roughly five years in the minor leagues before receiving his major-league call-up this weekend.
