Cam Shepherd, the junior infielder for the Dawgs, announced Monday night that he would return for his senior year.
Shepherd batted at .223 on the year, and put up seven homers and thirty-two RBIs.
We've already seen how talented this guy is. Most recently, he showed his clutch factor by hitting a walk-off home run to knock off Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament.
The return of Shepherd allows for a solid bat in the lineup and gives a chance for younger players to develop. In addition, Shepherd will provide senior leadership and guidance.
With a great recruiting class coming in next season, it is good to have a balance of talent and experience. Keeping more experienced players on the roster will allow for Coach Scott Stricklin to have this blend on the team next year.
