TCU senior Michael Landestoy sat tight for his chance to shine | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Few TCU baseball players have waited so long for a chance to shine in the Horned Frogs' every day lineup than Michael Landestoy.

The fifth-year senior is making the most of his chance to shine. Landestoy is hitting .361 with 10 RBIs after starting 10 of the first 11 games. Only Josh Watson has more RBIs on the team.

Landestoy, who is the son of former major league infielder Rafael Landestoy, was redshirted in 2014 and then started just 31 games the past three seasons. Landestoy said learning from older players, especially that redshirt season, former TCU greats such as Kevin Cron, Cody Jones and Derek Odell, helped him prepare for this moment.
