Tennessee has yet to really get things going in the Dave Serrano era, but this team has the potential to prove the naysayers wrong. The Volunteers have some impressive talent on the mound and at the plate. On the mound, Jr. RHP Kyle Serrano looks primed to become that premier arm hes always had the potential to be. Serrano will get into the mid-90s with his fastball, along with a solid breaking ball and changeup, while sophomore LHP Zach Warren is a highly intriguing arm to watch. Warren is a rising 2017 prospect and will sit in the upper-80s, low-90s with his fastball, along with a power breaking ball and changeup. Also keep an eye on senior Andy Cox, who also possesses a quality breaking ball, while JUCO transfer and closer, RHP Jon Lipinski, has a chance to be an immediate impact guy. Lipinski sits in the low-90s with his fastball with some late life, while he also showed good feel for his breaking ball during fall workouts. Another newcomer, freshman RHP Will Neely, possesses three good pitches with a fastball into the low-90s and a power breaking ball Offensively, this unit oozes with potential. Third baseman Nick Senzel is the clear-cut headliner of this group. Senzel showed consistent use of all fields and a very mature approach last summer at the Cape Cod League, while OF Vincent Jackson is stronger and should have a very impressive athletic/speed/power combination this spring. Jordan Rodgers showed offensive improvements in the fall, thanks to some impressive strength gains, while JUCO transfer and OF Dathan Prewett has me intrigued. Prewett is a true fire-starter at the plate, showing a combination of speed, power and the ability to steal bases. Prewett, amazingly, finished last season with 54 stolen bases at Walters State (Tenn.) CC. The Vols arent predicted to make the NCAA postseason, but this group proving everyone wrong wouldnt be a surprise.
