There was a time, not too long ago, when the dream around Lupton Stadium was to break through to a Super Regional.
In fact, less than 10 years ago, the TCU baseball program was still seeking its first regional championship. The College World Series, while always the goal, almost seemed unattainable.
Nowadays, of course, head coach Jim Schlossnagle, who begins his 15th season in Fort Worth, has built a college baseball empire that has been to seven Super Regionals and five College World Series, including the past four. Only one other school in the country has been to more than two in the past four seasons (Florida, 2015-17).
