2014 Class

Tigers' Troutt signs with MTSU and other sports news | timesfreepress.com

I thought we were recruiting this guy but the article does not mention TN (unless we were one of the bigger schools on the radar). Well, good luck to this kid but hate to lose a lefty that was in our backdoor (hopefully this wont be a Randall Cobb situation ha ha)

Looks like we had a strong class and we can move forward with those guys. Welcome class 2014. Lots of good young men with a lot of upside.

Go Vols!

Taking a shot in the dark on the reason why, here is a list of current UT pitchers on the roster who are not seniors and more than likely will be returning for the 2015 season:

Drake Owenby SO LHP
Andy Cox SO LHP
Kyle Serrano FR RHP
Peter Lenstrohm JR RHP
Trevor Bettencourt SO RHP
Matt Esparza SO RHP
Bret Marks JR RHP
Josh Peterson JR RHP
Zac Grotz JR RHP
Hunter Martin FR RHP
Trevor Charpie SO RHP
Eric Freeman FR RHP
Tei Vanderford SO RHP
Eric Martin JR RHP
Quint Robinson FR RHP

There are also 2 others listed as P's as a secondary position.

Incoming class:
Kevin Steen RHP
Richard Jackson RHP
Jake Westphal RHP
Aaron Soto LHP
Zach Reid LHP
Steven Kane RHP (Cypress College, JUCO transfer)

I counted 21 pitchers in total, not counting the 2 listed as secondary positions.

I think pitching, which has been the main focus the last two classes, may be in good shape now.

Unless a kid is throwing 95 with a nasty slider, curve and change, UT should have plenty of arms to find the right ones.....

True. Didnt realize we had that many. Looks like we are set at that position with lots of young arms.

I hope all these young pitchers have solid careers at UT.
