UGA Baseball: Cam Shepherd Announces Return to UGA

Georgia Shortstop, Cam Shepherd, has announced he will return to UGA for another year, with intentions to do something BIG. We'll take a look at what this means for the team going into next season.

Cam Shepherd, the junior infielder for the Dawgs, announced Monday night that he would return for his senior year.

DawgNation,
After lots of thought, I have decided to come back for my senior season. We have a lot of unfinished business left in Athens. Time to get to work. Go Dawgs!

Shepherd batted at .223 on the year, and put up seven homers and thirty-two RBIs.

We've already seen how talented this guy is. Most recently, he showed his clutch factor by hitting a walk-off home run to knock off Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament.

The return of Shepherd allows for a solid bat in the lineup and gives a chance for younger players to develop. In addition, Shepherd will provide senior leadership and guidance.

With a great recruiting class coming in next season, it is good to have a balance of talent and experience. Keeping more experienced players on the roster will allow for Coach Scott Stricklin to have this blend on the team next year.
