Tennessee Tech (41-21, 23-7) set a program record for wins last season and finished second in the nation with 99 homers. Matt Bragga beat out eight other competitors in the state to win Tennessee Coach of the Year honors after his team won the OVC regular-season title, swept through three games in the conference tournament and made an NCAA regional for the second time during his nine-year tenure. The Golden Eagles beat No. 19 Vanderbilt during the regular season and No. 15 Florida State in their postseason regional. The Golden Eagles were balanced last season, finishing second in the league in runs, ERA and fielding percentage. This season, they may have the deepest team in the league and the best collection of power arms. Senior Travis Moths can hit 97 on radar guns and has a bulldogs tenacity on the mound. He'll sit 92-95 with the offering, though, and offers a plus changeup as part of his arsenal. Following him in the rotation are juniors Ethan Roberts and Ty King. King, who is expected to be the midweek starter to begin the season, has a fastball up to 95, but will sit 90-93 and up to 94-95 at times. Meanwhile, Roberts has a fastball up to 93, but regularly sits 90-92 with the offering with good spin. He also possesses a good sldier, cutter and continues to develop a changeup. He also possesses a funky delivery with a good changeup and breaking ball. Junior Marcus Evey, who can reach 97 mph, is set to be the closer, although he must improve his production (6.75 ERA last year). Evey sits 92-94 and has electric stuff to go with a wipeout breaking ball. The offense gets started by speedy center fielder Alex Junior (.405 on-base). Right fielder Kevin Strohschein (14 homers, 60 RBIs), first baseman Chase Chambers (18 homers, 61 RBIs) and third baseman Trevor Putzig (.394, 6 homers, 52 RBIs) are the anchors in the middle of the lineup. And the Eagles are expecting breakthroughs from explosive talents such as Collin Harris in left field and Anthony Carrera at DH.
