COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball standout sophomore 1B Kameron Misner (Poplar Bluff, Mo.) is a Second Team All-SEC selection, announced Thursday by the Southeastern Conference. The team was selected by the league's 14 coaches. Misner is the first Mizzou position player to earn Preseason All-SEC honors since SS Ryan Howard did so in 2016. Misner was a Freshman All-American in 2017.

An outfielder a year ago, Misner will make the transition to first base this season. Last year, he was a middle-of-the-order threat for Mizzou all year as a freshman, turning in one of the best seasons for a true freshman hitter in recent memory. He hit seven homers, the most home runs by a Mizzou freshman since Trevor Coleman in 2007. In addition, his .282 average on the year was the best for a Mizzou freshman since Brett Bond (St. Louis, Mo.) hit .294 in 2015. He joined classmate Chris Cornelius (St. Louis, Mo.) as the first Mizzou freshmen to drive in more than 30 runs in a season since 2010.

Misner added 12 doubles and one triple while driving in 34 runs and scoring 39. He stole a team-high 17 bases on the year, a mark that ranked fourth in the SEC after the SEC Tournament

Misner and the Tigers will open the season next Friday (Feb. 16) in Miami, Fla., with a three-game series at Florida International. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. on KTGR.
