Another Top 25 baseball poll, another Top 10 ranking for TCU baseball.

The Frogs, coming off their fourth straight appearance in the College World Series, check in at No. 7 in the D1Baseball.com Top 25 poll, which was released on Tuesday.

Florida is No. 1 followed by Oregon State, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Florida State, and North Carolina. Texas A&M rounds out the Top 10 with Dallas Baptist at No. 18, Texas at No. 21, and Houston at No. 24.

Jim Schlossnagle’s program had previously been tabbed No. 3 in the Perfect Game preseason poll with Luken Baker (1st Team) and Jared Janczak (2nd Team) named to the Perfect Game’s Preseason All-American teams. The Frogs are No. 9 in the Collegiate Baseball preseason polls.

The Frogs, who finished No. 4 nationally a season ago, begin their season on Feb. 16 with a trip to Phoenix to take on Grand Canyon in a three-game series. It’s the first time since the 2013 season that TCU will begin its season on the road.

TCU’s first home game will be Feb. 20 against UTA at 6:30 p.m., followed by a three-game series against Long Beach State from Feb.23-25 to round out the homestand.
