The TCU baseball has the ninth best recruiting class in the country, at least according to Baseball American.

This is the second time in school history the Horned Frogs have got a top-10 recruiting class ranking. In 2004 the Frogs had the third-best class in the nation.

"This is great recognition of the hard work of our staff led by Todd Whitting," said head coach Jim Schlossnagle. "This class is very talented on the field and they have also performed at a high level in the classroom. With hard work, we hope these new players can help us reach our goal of winning in Omaha."

TCU think they've earned the ranking with quality, not quantity, with just 11 recruits.

The class features 10 freshman and one junior college transfer, Matt Curry (IF, Red Oak, Texas), who attended Howard College. All but one of the incoming players are from the state of Texas, the lone exception is Brance Rivera, an infielder from Muscatine, Iowa. The other incoming freshmen are: Jason Coats (OF, Plano, Texas), Taylor Featherston (INF, Katy), Travis Jenkins (P, Alvin), Walker Kelly (P, Fort Worth), Kaleb Merck (P/INF, Keller), Erik Miller (P, Georgetown), Kyle Winkler (P, Sugar Land), Jantzen Witte, (P, Arlington) and Davy Wright (UT, Aledo).

Three members of the class were drafted in June but elected to head to TCU. Curry and Winkler were selected in the 37th round while Kelly was tabbed in the 50th round.
