The Tennessee Volunteers baseball programme features two players in the most recent 2024 MLB mock draft.
The Tennessee Volunteers won the 2024 national title after a spectacular season, and the festivities do not appear to be winding off anytime soon. The 2024 MLB draft is just over two weeks away, and the Volunteers have a handful of contenders who could make the first round.
Tennessee Baseball Selects Two Players in the Latest MLB Mock Draft.
The Tennessee Volunteers’ baseball programme has two players in the most recent 2024 MLB mock draft.
“Barring a surprise collapse — possibly Gryphon or Rainer? — the Red Sox are expected to dig into the second tier of college batters, which starts with Tibbs and Moore, though Yesavage is also intriguing. This is the ceiling for other members of that group, including Florida State third baseman Cam Smith, Wake Forest third baseman/outfielder Seaver King, Oklahoma State outfielder Carson Benge, Louisiana State third baseman Tommy White, North Carolina outfielder Vance Honeycutt, and Kentucky outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt.
Moore was one of Omaha’s finest players this season. In his first game against Florida State, he became only the second player in NCAA World Series history to hit for the cycle. He was a key component of Tennessee’s national championship-winning team. Moore concluded his three years at Tennessee with a.338 hitting average, 61 home runs, 160 RBI, and 162 starts, which is ironically the same number of games as a whole MLB season.
Since the collegiate football season ended, Tennessee sports has had an interesting summer. The men’s basketball team made a deep run in the March Madness tournament, the baseball programme won its first national championship, Dalton Knecht was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA draft, and it appears that the Volunteers will add to that list when the MLB draft arrives.
The MLB draft will begin on July 14th and run through July 16th. The draft will last 20 rounds, providing plenty of possibilities for more Volunteers to be picked into the professional league. The Volunteers have a long history of success in the professional baseball league, and the 2024 MLB draft appears to be no exception.
