Jason Coats helped guide the TCU Baseball team to 177 wins and four-consecutive Mountain West Conference Championships from 2009-12. His game-winning hit against Oregon State in 2009 propelled TCU to its first-ever NCAA Super Regional appearance. Just one year later he helped catapult the Horned Frogs to the program's first College World Series appearance in 2010.
 
A three-time All-MWC selection from 2010-12, Coats ended his career with the Frogs totaling 234 games played, 909 at-bats, 304 hits, 202 RBI, and 12 triples. He ranks among the program's all-time top-five players in a total of eight different career offensive categories. He remains TCU's all-time leader with 69 career doubles.
 
Coats was drafted in the 12th Round of the MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, but declined and returned to TCU. He would go onto be drafted that following year by the Chicago White Sox in the 29th Round of the 2012 MLB Draft and later made his MLB debut with the White Sox on June 4, 2016.
 
At the time of his induction, Coats was inducted as the 62nd TCU baseball player into the Hall of Fame.
