The left-hander rounded out TCU’s foursome of players drafted on Monday.
TCU left-handed pitcher Braeden Sloan was the fourth and final Horned Frog to be taken in the 2025 MLB Draft on Monday, going to the Baltimore Orioles in the 17th round with the 514th overall pick. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder from Roseville, California enjoyed a scorching hot start to the 2025 season, ultimately striking out a career-high 76 batters over 58.2 innings and finishing with a 4.11 ERA over 11 appearances and 10 starts. Sloan, who has thrown 124 innings over three years at TCU, held hitters to a .203 batting average in 2025.

Sloan took on a midweek starting role as a true freshman in 2023, when the Horned Frogs won the Big 12 tournament and advanced to the College World Series. Over 44 career appearances and 14 starts at TCU, Sloan owns a 9-11 record and a 5.30 ERA with 147 strikeouts and 59 walks. Sloan, whose ERA and opposing batting averaged improved over all three years of his collegiate career, was one of three TCU pitchers taken in the 2025 MLB Draft. Ben Abeldt went to the Texas Rangers and Caedmon Parker was picked by the Chicago White Sox.
