Missouri’s football team suffered an injury on the baseball field Saturday.
Sam Horn, a quarterback and pitcher for the Tigers, exited Saturday’s game against Florida International after 1.1 innings. Per Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, coach Steve Bieser said in a post-game interview that the two-sport athlete exited with sore arm discomfort.
“Obviously he felt something,” Bieser said. We’ve got to get him checked out. Right now I don’t really want to say anything. We don’t really know. You saw the look on his face that we had to be precautious and get him out right away at that moment.”
Horn has amassed six strikeouts in two scoreless outings spanning 4.1 innings for Missouri. On the gridiron, the redshirt freshman got his first taste of playing time when completing a 10-yard pass against New Mexico State last November.
Horn joined Missouri’s football program as a four-star prospect and eighth-ranked quarterback in the class of 2022, per 247Sports.
Missouri will already enter spring without starting quarterback Brady Cook, who underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in late December.
