Nothing in his first two years at Texas suggested Kody Clemens would blossom into one of the top sluggers in the nation.
The youngest son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens has hit six of his Big 12-leading 19 home runs in the last seven games for the regular-season champion Longhorns (37-18). The junior second baseman also leads the conference with a .703 slugging percentage and 147 total bases. He ranks in the top 10 in three other offensive categories.
“I knew I had the capability of doing that, but I didn’t think it was going to be like this, I guess,” Kody Clemens said Monday.
