Quite an honor for Kyle! It's good to see some UT guys in the spotlight again. I hope that we can hang on to these guys for at least two years. They would certainly help elevate UT's program. However, I'm sure he will leave after this year. And who could blame him?

KS will not be able to sign for 3 years. That's the rule for baseball. This team is Fresh/Soph strong and will be very competitive for years to come.

Oh, I had forgotten they had that rule now. I was thinking they could sign any year. Good news for us! Thanks

Not exactly correct... you can be drafted if you are 21 irregardless of college eligibility.

Certain groups of players are ineligible for selection, generally because they are still in school. The basic categories of players eligible to be drafted are:

College players, from four-year colleges who have either completed their junior or senior years or are at least 21 years old;

KS looks like he turned 19 last summer, I don't know if the 21 year old means 21 on draft day or when he can sign with pro teams.

I was unaware of the 21 year old rule until last season when one of my son's hs teammates was drafted after his sophomore year at Belmont.

I just saw on the roster that KS just turned 18. So he is a young freshman as is Nick Senzel. They will play whole freshmen year as 18 year olds.

Yep you are right.... I thought I read born in July 1994, but it is 1995. So the 21 rule does not apply!
