Tennessee baseball is less than two weeks away and all outlets have released their preseason rankings and All-American teams. Returning production from last season’s 57-win team on top of adding talented players in the transfer portal, the Vols are well represented on preseason All-American teams.
The bulk of the Vols earning preseason honors is on the mound where Tennessee returns its three weekend starters and top bullpen arm from a team that posted the lowest earned run average in the nation a season ago.
Let’s take a look at which Tennessee players landed on preseason All-American teams.
