TCU first baseman Luken Baker will play for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team this summer, the ninth TCU player to do so, the school announced Friday.
Baker, a sophomore from Spring, leads the Horned Frogs in home runs (four) and the Big 12 in walks (18) and runs scored (23) through 16 games entering a weekend series against Kansas.
He has started all 82 games at TCU, primarily as a designated hitter. He moved to first base this season and is hitting .333 with 14 runs batted in.
Baker played for USA Baseball’s 14-under team in 2011, 15-under team in 2012 and 18-under team in 2014.
