Poplar Bluff native receives his second Preseason All-America nod
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball junior OF/1B Kameron Misner was tabbed a Preseason Second-Team All-American by Baseball America, announced Monday by the organization. Monday's recognition marks Misner's second Preseason All-America nod this offseason, joining his Second-Team accolade by Perfect Game / Rawlings earlier this month.
Misner becomes the first Tiger to garner Baseball America Preseason All-America honors since former RHP Tanner Houck received First-Team recognition in 2017. Baseball America annually polls major league organization's scouting departments to vote on its teams and make selections based on performance, talent and professional potential.
Preseason All-American recognition No. 2? for junior OF/1B @KameronMisner97!

Despite missing the final 22 games of the 2018 campaign due to injury, Misner produced a breakout sophomore season at the plate. He paced the Tigers in average (.360), doubles (nine), triples (three), on-base percentage (.497), slugging percentage (.576) and stolen bases (13).
Misner quickly jumped onto the national scene with a 2017 Freshman All-America campaign. He finished with 12 doubles, seven home runs, 34 RBI and 17 stolen bases in a sensational first year at Mizzou. Misner's seven home runs were the most by a Tiger freshman since Trevor Coleman in 2007.
Over his two-year career thus far in Mid-Missouri, Misner is a career .311 hitter with 75 runs scored, 21 doubles, four triples, 11 home runs, 59 RBI, 30 stolen bases and .908 OPS.
