Ranking each SEC baseball team entering conference play
1. Tennessee
The Volunteers are a perfect 16-0 and they may be even more talented than they were last year when they won the College World Series. Louisville transfer Gavin Kilen has newfound power in Knoxville, hitting eight home runs despite only having nine in his first two college seasons. Ole Miss transfer Liam Doyle has been one of the biggest draft risers this year, leading the country with 47 strikeouts. Tony Vitello has built a juggernaut at Tennessee and with a strong, early showing from its freshmen class, it does not appear that will change any time soon.聽
Liam Doyle is on an EPIC run to start the season.
His fastball touched 98 mph last night and generated 23 whiffs in 5.2 innings.
The ace has 47 Ks in 20.1 innings.
That means 47 of the 61 outs Doyle has recorded this year have come via strikeouts 馃槼
