Former Baylor infielder Drew Sutton has been promoted to the Cincinnati Reds after the team suffered several injuries in the infield.
Sutton was called up from Triple-A Louisville, where he was hitting .254 with five homers and 19 RBIs in 38 games this season. In April, the Reds acquired Sutton from the Houston Astros organization, which drafted him in the 15th round out of Baylor in 2004.
Sutton has hit .280 with 66 homers and 259 RBIs in six minor league seasons. In his only season at Baylor, he hit .304 with eight homers and 40 RBIs.

How about a regular feature on Baylor sport guys and gals who made the pros and their progress. Once a week feature would be good. Of course, it would involve a little work. Cleveland Indians have former catcher and Jennings now with Texas Rangers.
WacoTrib.com staff: Yup, that's what we do every week Britt -- it's called the "Pro Baseball Notebook." You can find it Saturdays in our sports section or at wacotrib.com/sports. We round up interesting bits each week and give you a full stat breakdown. This week, we highlighted David Murphy, Drew Sutton and Jeff Mandel. Click here to read it.
We don't just limit it to Baylor, though -- we include our local high schoolers as well.
