2025 Vols Baseball

I’m convinced they would have a whole roster entirely of lefties if they could get away with it.

 

A thread of all of our transfer and juco commits.

had no idea about all those pitchers. Think we may be selling our right field wall to lefty hitters.

 

Random throw in line about the one guy being a T1 diabetic

 

That's top level promotion. I love this guy! He's great at his job AND he's a blast.

 

Vols with the most guys drafted through 2 rounds, but maybe the best thing for us so far is that none of our recruits have been drafted yet. LSU has already lost a couple I believe. USC Jr lost a big one too.

 

Kuhns turning down the draft and coming in next year to pitch is great news. We are going to have some nice arms next year.

 

Rataczak drafted in 16th round by the Marlins.

 

may be a 25k signing bonus

 

He’s been in school 4 years already though. I would guess he signs.

 

Lucas Ramirez (Manny’s son) also got drafted. 17th round to the Angels.

 

That might be the slot amount but it’ll be down to how much they have left in their pool and what he’s willing to take.

 

I’d be surprised if he’s not a Vol.

 

And then McKee says he’s gone.

 

Surprised his dad let him do that. I think he could go much higher next year.

 

I really wanted Manny in Knoxville

 

Pretty sure you either sign after HS or you're locked into college/JUCO/amateur until 21 or after junior year, or something similar

 

yes after 3rd year if you don’t sign out of HS

 

That’s pretty close to correct. Going JUCO doesn’t have the same restrictions as going to college. From the MLB draft rules:

Players who have graduated high school but not attended college are eligible for the draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old.


Dean Curley, for example, will be a draft eligible sophomore.
