2026 TCU Baseball Season Preview: Tommy LaPour headlines returning pitchers​

The former Wichita State transfer became an ace for the Horned Frogs in 2025.

Wichita State transfers have fared well with the Horned Frogs.

One year after former Shocker left-hander Payton Tolle transferred to TCU, right-hander Tommy LaPour left the Shockers for the Horned Frogs. LaPour became an ace for TCU, posting an 8-3 record and a 3.09 ERA with 88 strikeouts and 27 walks over 90.2 innings pitched. LaPour, who was named an All-Big 12 First Team honoree and an NCBWA Second-Team All-American last season, headlines the pitchers back for the TCU baseball team.

While LaPour projects as TCU’s top right-hander, Mason Brassfield returns as the team’s most valuable lefty. As a freshman, Brassfield carved out a significant role, finishing 5-2 with a 4.09 ERA over 17 appearances and seven starts. Brassfield, who ranked second on the team in innings (61.2) last season, will look to fill a void vacated by left-handers Braeden Sloan and Ben Abeldt, who were each selected in the 2025 MLB Draft.

Sagouspe may be the guy if he can step up to Big XII level. I think Stern has the best closer stuff of our returnees, though Eudy was used more in that role last year. Stern needs to give up fewer walks.

Don’t forget about Lance Davis back there. Won’t surprise me if he is the closer at some point (if he doesn’t stretch into a rotation role somehow.). His FB/slider combo is high grade stuff.
