Tennessee baseball had nine players picked in the 2025 MLB Draft, but it also got key players back and recruits to campus for Tony Vitello's roster.

The SEC’s pitcher of the year, a native of Derry and Pinkerton Academy, went 10-4 with a nation-leading 164 strikeouts and 3.20 ERA as a junior.

Making their highest first-round draft selection since 1998, the Cardinals selected LHP Liam Doyle with the No. 5 overall pick.
