TCU baseball officially announced the hiring<\/a> of former Horned Frog All-American Bryan Holaday as bench coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cBryan is a Horned Frog through and through,\u201d TCU coach Kirk Saarloos<\/a> said in a statement. \u201cHis experience, leadership, and passion for TCU Baseball make him a tremendous addition to our staff, and we\u2019re thrilled to have him back in our dugout!\u201d<\/p>\n

A 2022 TCU Block T Hall of Fame inductee, Holaday came to TCU in the fall of 2007 after one season at North Central Texas College. He was a three-time all-conference performer and earned second-team All-American honors as a senior.<\/p>\n

Holaday was a member of TCU\u2019s first Super Regional team in 2009 and led TCU to its first College World Series in 2010, earning the Johnny Bench Award as the nation\u2019s best collegiate catcher. He played in 187 games over three years with a .325 career batting average, 46 doubles, four triples, 28 home runs and 142 RBIs.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing back to TCU in an official capacity means everything to me,\u201d Holaday said in a statement. \u201cAnyone who knows me knows I bleed purple \u2014 this program shaped who I am, and I\u2019m going to give everything I have to make it even better. This is my dream job, plain and simple. I\u2019ve been around this program and poured into it where I could, but making this official is something I\u2019ll never take for granted. TCU catchers are going to be held to the highest standard \u2014 and I can\u2019t wait to get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

A sixth-round draft pick in 2010 by the Detroit Tigers, Holaday had a successful 10-year MLB career with the Tigers, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins, Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

Holaday is the final piece to a revamped coaching staff that includes new hitting coach Danny-David Linahan and pitching coach Thomas Eshelman.<\/p>\n
