    AJ Russell to Start Against North Alabama

    I will be very surprised if this staff doesn’t average a sub-3.00 ERA on the weekends. Obviously it is helped by the early non-con but the depth is growing, the stuff is elite, and guys are really coming into form. We will need to continue getting strikes from Phillips, but you can’t put a...

    Predict when Vol Baseball takes Loss #1

    Game 2 vs Florida. I think they’re going deep in Omaha. I think we can win game 1 in Knoxville, but their rotation is pretty stacked. I don’t think we’ll know much about the Gators until they come to Knoxville. *I mistakenly thought the series was in the swamp.

    The Official Hofstra @ Tennessee Series Thread (Fri. Feb 14 4:30PM EST) (Sat. Feb 15 2PM EST) (Sun. Feb 16 11AM EST) (All games on SECNET+)

    Like an absolute heathen, I’ve done some digging into the Hofstra team. They return 2 of their top 9 hitters from last year. The first is infielder Dylan Palmer, who was 2nd team All AAC last year. Hits for a very high percentage and was 2nd in conference in stolen bags, but not a lot of xBH. He...

    2025 BaseVols Projected Lineup/Roster

    I have a feeling that Newstrom is going to end up as the starting RF in May, and Marin will be the starting 3B 2 of the 3 games this weekend. I don’t trust Chapman or Backus against SEC pitching. When it’s all said and done, I think we’ll go into regionals looking like this…. 1. SS Curley 2. 2B...

    Last Minute Slugger 1st Baseman Added

    I’m curious to see if Osuna gets more reps at 1B/DH than Lawless. Adding a RH bat is great whether he plays or not, but I expected Lawless to be an everyday entry in the lineup.

    2026 Roster

    I know I’m jumping the gun, but the roster next season could be remarkable even considering how much talent we’ll lose next offseason. This roster could compete in the SEC without any transfers, JUCOs, or freshmen included. C: Lawless 1B: Grimmer 2B: Marin SS: Antigua 3B: Newstrom LF: Clark...

    2025 BaseVols Projected Lineup/Roster

    I think we start the season with this lineup… C Peebles 1B Perry 2B Kilen SS Curley 3B Fischer LF Abernathy CF Ensley RF Chapman DH Bargo SP Doyle SP Kuhns SP Arvidson But I think Clark rotates in at LF, Backus rotates in at a revolving door in RF, and Lawless becomes a 2 game/week first...

    Vols ranked #5 by Perfect Game / #4 by D1Baseball

    I think there’s enough questions about this team to put them 5-10 honestly. Is Peebles ready to be the guy behind the plate? Can he fix his miscues with the bat? Who plays 1B? What does Kilen’s transition to SEC look like? Only hit .270 in ACC play. Is Chapman ready to be an everyday consistent...

    '24 GA WR Mike Matthews (Tennessee)

    All I’ve seen is “likely next month” from Chad Simmons

    I don’t think this one makes it to next weekend

    '24 AL EDGE Jordan Ross (Tennessee)

    I don’t have a problem with a kid understanding the depth chart and it being a factor, but the portal somewhat dampens that concern if you feel like you’ll still be developed early. Being behind a stud sophomore could really cut into your snap count for multiple years

    '24 AL EDGE Jordan Ross (Tennessee)

    Yes but you also assume you have Herring and Pearce for the next 3-4 years alongside Josephs for 2+. Nwaneri could also play Leo if you pulled that one. Lindstrom is currently built for the Leo spot as well. Elijah Rushing could also start as a Leo early in his career.

    '24 AL EDGE Jordan Ross (Tennessee)

    AP’s info was from the NIL Event in Nashville. Ross stated that the depth chart was more appealing at Florida. Since then he has told Wiltfong that Tennessee is the team to beat. I assume Florida getting another top edge in the class played a part in his change of mind
