TCU dominates the the All-Big 12 baseball teams, with Cody Jones being named the player of the year, coach Jim Schlossnagle the unanimous choice for coach of the year and Connor Wanhanen the unanimous pick for freshman of the year.
The senior shortstop already has the school records for career assists and sacrifices. By the time the season is over, he will have played in three NCAA regionals, possibly three Super Regionals and maybe — at least it’s the goal — two College World Series.
Alex Young will start Wednesday against Baylor as part of TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle’s plan to throw his three best starters early in the Big 12 tournament, leaving him the option to use any of them at any point in a regional tournament next weekend.
