WACO, Texas – Baylor baseball head coach Mitch Thompson announced Friday the additions of graduate utility man Kade Fletcher and graduate infielder Mason Greer to the 2024 roster.

Fletcher, a versatile defender who can play the outfield, first base or catcher, began his collegiate career at Paris Junior College before spending the last two seasons at Oklahoma. At PJC, he hit .250 with four home runs and 30 RBIs in 2021 and batted .341 with five home runs and a .541 OBP in 2020. After transferring to OU, Fletcher made just three appearances for the Sooners in 2023 and scored two runs.

Greer played the 2022 and 2023 seasons at Missouri State, enjoying a breakout junior campaign in which he batted .312 with 10 home runs and 53 RBIs. He comes to Waco after hitting .235 with eight doubles, two home runs and 13 RBIs last season for the Bears across just 38 games. As a senior, Greer made just one error in 198 chances for a .995 fielding percentage in 25 starts at first base.

In his breakout 2022 season, Greer ranked third in the Missouri Valley Conference with 21 doubles, which was also good for seventh all-time in a single season at MSU. He was named the 2022 MVC Tournament MVP after hitting .385 with nine runs scored, eight RBIs and six extra-base hits in the event. The switch-hitting corner infielder racked up 21 multi-hit games, including 10 with at least three, and drove in multiple runs on 15 occasions.

Prior to his time at MSU, Greer played for Thompson at Waco’s own McLennan Community College and was part of the 2021 national championship-winning squad. That year, Greer hit .322 with 17 home runs, 66 RBIs and totaled 33 extra-base hits in 62 games with the Highlanders.
