Cincinnati native Drew Schmidt, plays for his hometown Musketeers. Last season he batted .320 with 73 hits and 52 runs scored as the Musketeers made their first appearance in the Regionals last year. With the 2010 season still remaining, Schmidt already ranks in the top ten in school history in runs, walks and hit by pitches. His brother Zach is an assistant coach with the team.

TCU horned frogs
(44-19, 19-5)
final 2008 ranking: NR

Eight Frogs earned selection on All MWC Teams last year and six will be back to play ball for the purple and white. Chris Ellington (.344, 6, 55) had a team-best .579 slugging percentage and will be looking to put up big numbers once again with Ben Carruthers (.308, 2, 33) and Bryan Holaday (.311, 1, 41) providing invaluable defensive efforts to go along with their plate prowess. Tyler Lockwood (7-2, 2.75) started last season in the bullpen but proved to be too invaluable not to have in the regular rotation. A healthy return by Steven Maxwell (1-0, 2.50) who was awarded a medical redshirt after pitching in just three games could be the catalyst the team needs to advance in the extended postseason. The continued development of sophomore Sean Hoelscher (7-3, 5.02) could also be the boon Coach Jim Schlossnagle needs to take TCU to the next level.
