Jim Schlossnagle opens up on the boost Ted Burton brings to the Texas A&M lineup

The Texas A&M Aggies are looking to finish the regular season strong before making a run in the postseason. To do that, head coach Jim Schlossnagle knows that the team is going to need first baseman Ted Burton to contribute to the lineup.

Ahead of the series against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Schlossnagle praised Burton for what he brings to the lineup and the boost it gives the Aggies.

“Huge,” Jim Schlossnagle said. “He had a stretch where he had five homers in four games. He just stretches the lineup. I mean, the strength of our team is, for the most part, on the offensive side. So, when you take a big piece of that out, then it affects everybody, moves everybody up, puts them in different spots. Not that we’re not capable. We won games without Ted. But he has a big bat.”

Ted Burton transferred to Texas A&M from Michigan, where he spent four seasons, and his impact has been felt this season. He’s hitting .297 with nine home runs and 33 RBIs. He’s also slugging .535 with an OBP of .461 this season. Unfortunately, he did recently miss four straight games with an apparent injury.

Having him back is huge for Texas A&M’s lineup, as Jim Schlossnagle explained that he gives them very important power from the right side.
