Baseball: Five more TCU players enter transfer portal this week

Infielders Gabe Miranda and Fisher Ingersoll as well as pitchers Chase Hoover, Holden Harris and Jax Lewis are on their way out.

Five more TCU baseball players have entered the transfer portal after the 2024 season, according to 64Analytics. Among the departing players are right-handed pitchers Jax Lewis (freshman) and Holden Harris (freshman) as well as left-hander Chase Hoover (sophomore) and infielders Gabe Miranda (redshirt freshman) and Fisher Ingersoll (sophomore). The Horned Frogs, who went 33-21 overall and 14-16 in the Big 12 Conference, have already lost outfielder Logan Maxwell and infielder Ryder Robinson to the portal.

Hoover received the most playing time of the five players entering the transfer portal. The sophomore left-hander from Santa Barbara, California made 33 appearances and five starts over the last two seasons, recording a 6.83 ERA over 55.1 career innings with TCU. Hoover struck out 65 batters and walked 39, allowing 60 hits with a .278 career opposing average. Neither Harris or Lewis received any innings for the Horned Frogs during the 2024 season.

Miranda redshirted during the 2023 season but was unable to carve out a significant infield role this spring, finishing with five at-bats over 13 games and hitting one double. Ingersoll appeared in 12 games and started nine over the last two seasons, notching two hits over 21 at-bats as a Horned Frog. Along with the current outgoing transfers, TCU is set to lose senior pitchers Hunter Hodges and Ben Hampton as well as graduate transfers Colt Taylor (Tennessee Tech) and Zack Morris (Arkansas). Junior left-hander Payton Tolle could also forgo his remaining eligibility with the Horned Frogs to declare for the 2024 MLB Draft.
