Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello met with the media following the Vols’ 5-1 series-opening win over Samford to share his thoughts on the win. Vitello talked Liam Doyle’s incredible start on the mound, Cannon Peebles’ start to the season at the plate, the Doyle-Tanner Franklin combination and more.
Watch Vitello’s entire post-game press conference below.
“It’s really good stuff,” Vitello said about the Doyle-Franklin stack. “I think Frank [Anderson] has done a great job of getting guys to pour it in the zone, but at times too, those guys get ahead in the count and then located some good pitches and, to their credit, the last two weekends regardless, it’s been two different teams. So against both teams getting ahead and then hitting spots later in the count has tallied some strikeouts for ’em.
“But I think you got two guys that really like to compete and they’ve both improved greatly since being on campus and they’ve both got stuff that’s probably gonna allow them to pitch as long as they wanna pitch.”
