How close is backup first baseman Michael Landestoy to helping TCU on a more regular basis?
“Close,” coach Jim Schlossnagle said.
Landestoy made two strong defensive plays and doubled in the eighth inning Sunday against Oklahoma State after entering as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He has played in 11 games, mainly as a defensive replacement, and is 3-for-12 at the plate, including a home run a month ago against Arizona State.
“Landestoy’s defense in the eighth inning was a huge part of the game,” Schlossnagle said following TCU’s 5-1 victory to sweep the series.
