The TCU Horned Frogs baseball team represents Texas Christian University and competes in the Mountain West Conference of NCAA Division I.

History
TCU has fielded a baseball team since 1896, before the school found its permanent home in Fort Worth. The Horned Frog baseball team began playing baseball in the Southwest Conference when it became a member of the conference in 1923[1]. That year they finished the year with a 13-11 overall record and a 2-10 conference record.[2] In 1933 Dutch Meyer, also the coach of the football team, led TCU to its first SWC title with a 9-1 record. The Frogs would add additional SWC titles in 1956, 1966, 1967 and 1994.
With the building of Lupton Stadium and the hiring of Schlossnagle, the program has undergone a resurgence. During Schlossnagle's first year in 2004, the Frogs won their first conference title in a decade.[2][3] Seeded fourth, TCU lost the first game of the double-elimination tournament to Houston. The Frogs then won their next five games to win the C-USA tournament.[4] The next year, Tulane and TCU were declared C-USA tournament co-champions when the championship game of the tournament was rained out.[5][6] 2006 saw the Horned Frogs in a new conference, the Mountain West Conference. The Frogs went 17-5 in their first year in the MWC to claim their third consecutive conference championship.
