Tennessee baseball is in the midst of getting back to work coming off of its first national championship.
UT was slated to begin fall ball last Thursday, and though it was able to get some indoor work in, it was not able to begin scrimmages due to the weather from Hurricane Helene that impacted East Tennessee. Tony Vitello’s Vols are expected to begin scrimmages this week inside of Lindsey Nelson Stadium despite the ongoing renovations.
The Vols became the first No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament to win the national championship since Miami did so in 1999. UT also became the first SEC team to reach the 60-win mark in a single season and just the fourth conference team to win the SEC regular season title, SEC Tournament title and the NCAA Men’s College World Series in the same year.
Tony Vitello joined Vol Calls this past week to discuss the start of fall practice coming off of the championship. Here’s everything Vitello had to say about the state of UT Baseball.
