From Aledo to TCU: The Rise of Trace Mazon
Trace Mazon, a 20‑year‑old infielder from Aledo, Texas, is set to join the TCU Horned Frogs after completing a standout stint at Coastal Carolina, where he honed his versatility across multiple positions.
During the 2026 season he logged time as a designated hitter, first baseman and left fielder, posting a .359/.413/.550 slash line that translated into 47 hits, nine doubles, two triples, four home runs and 31 RBIs in 36 games.
His collegiate roots trace back to Weatherford College, where he earned All‑NTJCAC honors twice before moving into the NCAA system, and his high school years at Aledo saw him named Second‑Team All‑District in 2022 and selected for the Texas All‑State All‑Star Game the following year.
At Aledo he batted .467 with a .711 slugging percentage, capturing the District 5A MVP award and cementing his reputation as one of the state’s premier hitters.
In the JUCO ranks he posted a .339 average as a freshman, followed by a .365 mark as a sophomore, accompanied by 15 home runs, 76 hits, 62 RBIs and 14 stolen bases, numbers that have drawn attention from several programs.
Coaches at TCU say his blend of power, contact and speed should provide depth and flexibility, and they expect him to contribute immediately both at the plate and in the field.
