Schlossnagle Milestones
On February 21, 2016, TCU Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle became the winningest coach in TCU baseball history with his 518th win;[38] Schlossngale passed former TCU letterman and head coach Lance Brown to become the Frogs' all-time winningest coach.[39]
Regular Season
In time for the start of the 2016 regular season, TCU debuted the latest in its baseball facilities additions with the opening of the new $8 million left field line complex at Charlie & Marie Lupton Baseball Stadium, which houses the TCU home locker room, team classroom, team lounge, sports medicine center, equipment room, and coaches' offices (photo gallery).[40] The 2016 season will also debut the addition of a new video board in left field and an expanded right field berm for general admission patrons.[41] The new left field line facility and video board are in addition to the $2.5 million indoor hitting/pitching facility and turf practice area that opened immediately prior to the 2015 regular season.[42]
Prior to Opening Day, the Horned Frogs kicked off the 2016 season with the annual First Pitch Banquet on February 12, hosted by two former TCU players: Jake Arrieta, a starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and the 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner, and Matt Carpenter, the starting third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals and a two-time MLB All-Star.[43] The varsity Horned Frogs hosted over 60 TCU baseball alumni for the annual Alumni Game on February 13; at least 15 current professional baseball players took the field for the alumni team.[44][45]
The team's theme for the 2016 season, portrayed in the program's annual introductory video, is "Uncommon."
February
The Horned Frogs opened the 2016 season at home versus Loyola Marymount on February 19, 2016.[46] The Frogs' Friday night ace pitcher missed the early weeks of the season after a muscle strain injury on February 12.[34] Senior starting center fielder and leadoff hitter Nolan Brown was also out of the lineup in the opening weeks after undergoing surgery for a hamate bone injury in January.[25] The Frogs won their opening series against Loyola Marymount two games to one, and Jim Schlossnagle became the all-time winningest coach in TCU baseball history in the series finale on February 21, 2016.[38] TCU competed at the Shrines Hospitals for Children College Classic at Minute Maid Park in Houston, from February 26 through February 28;[47] the Frogs knocked off three ranked teams (Louisiana–Lafayette, Rice and Houston) to extend their winning streak to 6 games at the close of the month of February.[48][49][50] The Frogs were named Tournament Champions, and three Frogs earned four All-Tournament Team honors.[51]
March
TCU entered the month of March with a 6–1 record, ranked as high as #7 in national polls.[52] The Frogs opened the month by run-ruling UTRGV 13–0 in just 7 innings; the lopsided shutout marked the Frogs' second run-rule win of the year and extended their win streak to 7 games.[53] After seeing their winning streak snapped in the series opener versus Gonzaga in a 5-4 loss, TCU rebounded to blast Gonzaga 10–2 and 16–1; the Frogs notched 13 extra-base hits in their two wins over Gonzaga, Big 12 leading hitter Elliott Barzilli raised his season batting average to .512, and in the Sunday series finale, all nine batters in the initial lineup had at least one hit.[54]
Postseason
Big 12 Tournament
For the second time in three years, the Horned Frogs won the Big 12 Conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament by winning the Big 12 Conference Tournament at Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, OK. At the conclusion of the Big 12 Tournament, the Frogs had won 9 of their last 10 games.
Fort Worth Regional
For the sixth time in eight years, TCU was selected as one of sixteen NCAA Tournament Regional hosts. The Horned Frogs drew two-seed Arizona State, three-seed Gonzaga, and four-seed Oral Roberts. The winner of the Fort Worth Regional will face the winner of the college Station Regional, setting up a potential 2015 Super Regional rematch between TCU and Texas A&M.
The Horned Frogs opened the 2016 NCAA Tournament with a 7–0 win over Oral Roberts.
College Station Super Regional
The Horned Frogs faced the Aggies in an NCAA Super Regional for the second consecutive year. The Horned Frogs captured game one of the series in College Station with a dominant 8–2 victory, lost game two, and won game three to advance to the College World Series.
College World Series
TCU advanced to the College World Series for the third consecutive year and will face Texas Tech in game one, a rematch of their opening game in the 2014 College World Series.
