FORT WORTH, Texas – No. 19 Kansas baseball heads on the road to play No. 24 TCU for its second consecutive Big 12 weekend away from Lawrence. The three-game series is set to begin on Friday night at 6 p.m. CT at Lupton Stadium.
"From this point forward, it's just fill in the blank with blank great team that we play," head coach Dan Fitzgerald said. "TCU is another formidable opponent and one that we'll have to be really sharp to do what we do."
Kansas (27-7, 9-3 Big 12) has won nine of its last 10 games and sits in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 standings for the first time since the 2009 season. The 27-7 overall record matches the best record through the first 34 games in program history with 1993, the only year Kansas has ever made the College World Series. The 9-3 start to conference play is the best start to a Big 12 season in school history.
The Jayhawks have displayed one of the best offenses in the country throughout the season. Kansas leads the conference in walks (tied for third nationally), home runs (tied for fourth nationally), runs (tied for eighth nationally), slugging percentage (ninth nationally), hits (11th nationally), runs per game (tied for 14th nationally), on-base percentage (18th nationally) and total bases.
KU has 74 home runs this season and is one shy of tying the program record of 75 set in 2006 and matched in 2023. Twelve different Jayhawks have hit a homer this season. There have been 41 home runs hit at Hoglund Ballpark and 33 hit on the road this year.
TCU (25-9, 8-4 Big 12) is ranked No. 24 by Baseball America this week. The Horned Frogs swept BYU last weekend and are tied for third place in the Big 12. Before dropping their midweek game, TCU had rattled off six consecutive wins. The Horned Frogs have posted the second lowest ERA in the conference this season at 4.26. Tommy LaPour, who will start on Friday night, holds a 2.62 ERA, the lowest in the Big 12.
HOW TO FOLLOW ALONG
All three games will be broadcast on ESPN+. Fans can also listen to the games on KLWN (101.7 FM/1320 AM) and the Jayhawk Sports Network on KUAthletics.com and the Kansas Jayhawks app.
Live statistics can be found here, while live updates will also be provided on the team's official X page @KUBaseball.
HAUGE HOMERS
Jackson Hauge hit his 15th home run of the season on Tuesday night against Nebraska. Hauge is tied for second in the country with 15 home runs and is eighth nationally with 49 RBIs. He has an active 20-game on-base streak and 12-game hitting streak.
BALLINGER BOOM
Earlier this week, Brady Ballinger was named Big 12 Player of the Week. Ballinger hit .444/.524/1.056 (8-for-18), with two doubles, three home runs, six RBIs, eight runs scored, three walks and a 1.580 OPS in four games last week.
The Las Vegas, Nevada, native is first in the conference in walks (second nationally), runs scored (tied for 11th nationally), total bases (tied for 16th nationally), slugging percentage (21st nationally) and hits (53, tied for 22nd nationally). He is also fifth in the country with a .563 on-base percentage.
Ballinger currently has a 14-game hitting streak which is the longest by a Jayhawk this season.
SERIES HISTORY
Kansas and TCU have played 42 times in program history dating back to 1990. The Horned Frogs hold a 28-14 advantage in the all-time series, however Kansas went 3-1 against TCU a year ago. The Jayhawks won two out of three games in the regular season series and then defeated TCU 11-10 in an elimination game in the Big 12 Tournament. The series win was the program's first series victory against a top-five ranked opponent since 2010 and its second series victory all-time against TCU.
UP NEXT
Kansas will return home for four games next week, which includes a midweek matchup against Wichita State and a three-game weekend series with Kansas State.
