Houston has been awarded two NCAA Regional host bids (2015, 2017), while advancing to an NCAA Super Regional following a Regional Championship in Baton Rouge, La. in 2014. Houston Baseball has notched three 40+ win seasons in the last four years and is coming off two American Championships in 2017, which was a feat that had not been accomplished since 2000. Also since his arrival back to Houston, Whitting has coached 30 All-Conference honorees, four All- Americans, seven Freshman All-Americans, one conference Player of the Year, one conference Pitcher of the Year, one conference Newcomer of the Year and four conference Freshman of the Year. 30 Cougars were selected in the MLB First-Year Player Draft since 2011 and of the 31, 25 were undrafted out of high school - showing the development of the Houston program.
