In what has thus far been a disappointing season for the Oklahoma State baseball team, the same could be said for a handful of its veterans.
As the Cowboys brace for a road series against No. 4 Texas Tech, several of their opening day starters have only occasionally seen their names in the lineup, pushed into platoon roles with freshmen. That includes senior first baseman Dustin Williams, who has started only 22 of OSU’s 36 games after starting 63 of 65 for last year’s College World Series team. Williams said coach Josh Holliday has talked at length with the platooned veterans of their required involvement, a message they’ve followed through on.
