The 2015 TCU Horned Frogs baseball team represented Texas Christian University during the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Horned Frogs played their home games at Lupton Stadium as a member of the Big 12 Conference. They were led by head coach Jim Schlossnagle, in his 12th year at TCU.
The 2014 Horned Frogs earned a 38–15 (17–7) regular season record and finished second in the Big 12 Conference behind regular season champion Oklahoma State. They qualified for the 2014 Big 12 Conference Baseball Tournament and defeated Oklahoma State 7–1 in the tournament final for TCU's first-ever Big 12 Championship. The championship earned the Frogs the Big 12's automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. The Horned Frogs were selected as the #7 national seed, the first-ever national seed earned in program history.
The #7 national seed Horned Frogs hosted the Fort Worth Regional, which also included Dallas Baptist, Sam Houston State, and Siena. TCU opened NCAA Tournament play with two extra innings victories: first, a 2–1 victory over Siena in 11 innings, and second, a 3–2 victory over Sam Houston State in 22 innings. In the regional final, the Horned Frogs defeated Sam Houston State, 6–1, to advance to the Fort Worth Super Regional, hosting the Pepperdine Waves. The 2014 Fort Worth Super Regional was the first Super Regional ever hosted by TCU. The Horned Frogs prevailed over the Pepperdine Waves in game one with a 3–2 victory, but fell in game two by a score of 2–3. The Frogs and Waves played a third and final game, a game the Frogs won 6–5, earning TCU a berth to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The 2014 College World Series berth was the second in school history. In the College World Series, the Horned Frogs first faced Big 12 foe Texas Tech. TCU defeated the Red Raiders 3–2 but went on to lose their second CWS game to Virginia 2–3 in 15 innings. In their third game, the Frogs fell to Ole Miss, 4–6, and were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament. The Horned Frogs finished the 2014 season ranked #5 in both the Coaches' Poll and CBN Poll.
