Want the latest on No. 1 Tennessee baseball and its key returning stars?
The GoVols247 Podcast—specifically the Diamond Vols Podcast—has you covered.
Hosts Ben McKee, Wes Rucker, and former Vols pitcher/SEC Network+ analyst Will Heflin break down the return of two major pieces for the top-ranked Vols as they prepare for a weekend showdown.
Junior right-hander AJ Russell took another step in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, pitching a scoreless inning in Tuesday’s 7-1 win over Tennessee Tech. He’s likely just a couple of outings away from rejoining the SEC weekend rotation. Meanwhile, junior second baseman Gavin Kilen (hamstring) made a pinch-hit appearance last weekend and could return as a designated hitter against Texas A&M before fully resuming his role in the field.
In short—this already elite Tennessee squad is adding two more potential first-round draft picks back into the mix. Not bad, right?
The episode also covers Tennessee’s sweep of South Carolina, their midweek win over Tennessee Tech, and a preview of this weekend’s series against a struggling but dangerous Texas A&M squad.
Listen now, and stay tuned—unless breaking news drops, the next GoVols247 Podcast is set for Monday!
