A Boost for the Horned Frogs
TCU baseball announced on Monday that it has secured commitments from two standout players at Saint Mary’s, signaling a fresh infusion of talent into the program.
Junior left‑handed pitcher Cam Staton, a native of Auburn, California, brings a proven record of success, having posted a 4‑3 record with a 3.78 ERA during the 2026 season and a 7‑2 record with a 3.32 ERA in 2025.
Staton’s 2026 campaign included 20 appearances, seven of them as starts, and he fanned 66 batters while walking 33 over 66.2 innings, holding opponents to a .244 batting average.
Before arriving at Saint Mary’s, Staton began his collegiate career at Sierra College, where he honed his skills before transferring to the California‑based program.
The second commitment, from right‑hander Tanner Griffith, adds further depth to the Horned Frogs’ pitching staff as they look to build on recent successes.
What This Means for TCU
Coaches say the new arrivals could immediately compete for starting roles, giving the team additional flexibility in the rotation and bullpen.
The commitments also reflect the program’s growing appeal among top junior college and Division I transfer prospects, who see TCU as a pathway to professional baseball.
With one year of eligibility remaining, Staton is expected to make an immediate impact, while Griffith’s skill set complements the existing mix of arms.
The signings come as TCU prepares for the upcoming season, aiming to contend in the highly competitive conference schedule.
