VOLS AT A GLANCEAfter starting the week on a high note with a 13-2 triumph over Morehead State on Wednesday, the

University of Tennessee baseball team was unable to come away with a win in its first weekend of Southeastern Conference play, dropping a trio of road contests to No. 16 South Carolina. The Volunteers wasted little time jumping on the Eagles in their mid-week contest, scoring 10 runs in the first two innings, highlighted by a Zach Osborne grand slam, en route to the easy win. Victory did not come quite as easily against the Gamecocks, however. On Friday, junior Bryan Morgado gave the Big Orange yet another stel-lar outing, going seven innings for the third appearance in a row. The 6-3 southpaw allowed just two first inning runs before sitting down 17 of the final 23 batters he faced. While UT was able to tie things up at 2-2 in the top of the eighth, South Carolina answered with two more runs of its own in the bottom half of the frame to pick up the win. The Vols battled back from another deficit on Saturday, this time coming back from five down before the Gamecocks pulled away with five more runs off the UT bullpen. Junior Cody Hawn tried to get the Orange and White back in the game with a two-out home run, his fourth of the season, in the top of the ninth, but it wasn’t enough as the Gamecocks won 10-7. Tennessee just could never get its bats going on Sunday, managing just one hit off of four USC pitchers in a 4-0 loss. It did receive another good performance from a starting pitcher though, as senior Stephen McCray gave up just one run on four hits in 5.2 innings of work.

SCOUTING USC UPSTATEUSC Upstate heads to Knoxville in the midst of a 12-game losing streak after winning seven of its first nine

contests of the season. This past weekend, the Spartans dropped a trio of contests to East Tennessee State in Johnson City. They will start freshman right-hander Gaither Bumgardner for the fourth time this season. He currently sports an 0-2 record with a 7.31 ERA in 16.0 innings of work. Offensively, USC Upstate is paced by sophomore outfielder Tyler Cook who holds team highs with a .386 batting average, two home runs, 17 RBIs and four stolen bases. Just behind him, however, is senior catcher Jimmy Tanner with a .361 batting average, one home run and 14 RBIs to go along with a squad-best 15 walks and .470 on-base percentage.

SERIES HISTORYSaturday’s game will be the seventh all-time encounter between Tennessee and USC Upstate. The

Volunteers currently hold a 4-2 advantage. After reviving the series with a 9-4 victory in 2008 following a 16-year hiatus, Tennessee dropped a tough 1-0 decision to the Spartans last season.

2010 TENNESSEE BASEBALL ROSTER


TODD RALEIGHThird SeasonWestern Carolina, 1991Record at UT: 63-68 (.481)Career Record: 320-277 (.536)

Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh is in his second season at Tennessee after guiding his alma mater, Western Carolina, for eight seasons.

While at Tennessee, Raleigh has had seven players drafted, including two in 2008 and five more in 2009, highlighted by first-round pick Kentrail Davis. In 18 seasons as a collegiate coach, Raleigh has now produced a total of 39 MLB draft picks and

56 professional players. That number will undoubtedly continue to grow as 2009 third-round selection Bryan Morgado made the decision to return to Knoxville for a chance to continue to grow under Raleigh’s leadership during his junior campaign.

During his tenure in Cullowhee, Raleigh’s clubs won two regular-season Southern Conference champion-ships, one Southern Conference tournament title, turned in five top-three league finishes and made a pair of NCAA Regional appearances—reaching the Regional final both times.

His 2007 WCU team posted a winning record against teams in the top 35 of the RPI and earned a rare mid-major at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. The Catamounts were touted by ESPN’s Kyle Peterson as featuring an “SEC-style offense.”

In 18 collegiate seasons, Raleigh has coached 56 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including 13 players who were drafted in the top-10 rounds and seven who have advanced onto Major League rosters.

In those 18 seasons as a collegiate assistant or head coach, Raleigh’s teams have finished third or better in their respective league 12 times (67 percent).

Raleigh and his wife, Stephanie, have three children: Cal (12), Emma Grace (10) and Carley (3).

Turn up The VOLume “Tennessee has everything. It’s the state

school, the flagship school. We can recruit this state, and there are enough good players in this state to win a national championship. We’ve got to build this program from the inside out, and that’s what we plan on doing.”

— Head Coach Todd Raleigh

“When you make a crazy play like that, say when you are younger, you’re like ‘Man, what if there was a TV camera around? That could end up on SportsCenter.’ Luckily they dug through it and found a video, and I was just sitting there on my couch. It was weird seeing me and then LeBron. It was crazy.”

— UT Outfielder Chris Fritts

“I think we’ve done a good job of building a foundation that we need to build, but obvi-ously, with that comes the end product. The end product for us is winning some games, and I think we’re poised to do that. I think what we had to do was go through the right process and we have gone through those proper channels. I feel excited about this season. We’ve got a tremendous team. We’re more athletic, more physical, we’re deeper, we’re better. You com-bine that with the way we ended last year, the momentum we had, I feel like we’re going to have a great year, I really do.”

— Head Coach Todd Raleigh

“The renovations that have been made to the stadium are unbelievable. It’s a place we can call home now. Coming to the park every day, I feel really at home and proud to be a part of this team and this university. This is probably the most talented team I’ve been a part of at Tennessee. Our depth is just tremendous and everywhere on the field is a strong point.”

— Junior Catcher Blake Forsythe

“I’ve been a fan my entire life and I will be even when I leave this university. It’s always going to be home to me. No matter if I’m here playing or watching younger guys several years down the road, I will always want to see UT do well and hopefully we can really turn it around and become one of the premier programs in the country, starting this year.”

— Junior First Baseman Cody Hawn

u Raleigh led an offensive juggernaut in 2007 that ranked fifth nationally in runs per game (8.4), sixth nationally in home runs per game (1.4), scoring (8.4) and slugging percentage (.517), seventh in doubles per game (2.39) and 11th in batting average (.323).

u Raleigh’s 2008 UT squad hit 67 home runs in just 56 games, the fifth-highest single-season total in program history.

u The Vols improved upon that number in Raleigh’s second season, blasting out 87 home runs in 55 games, good for the second-best single-season total in UT history.

u Despite fielding a lineup that regularly included six or more underclassmen in 2009, UT improved its RPI by 31 positions from the previous season, moving from 89 to 58.

u Under Raleigh’s guidance, first-year Vol Cody Hawn became just the 10th player in UT history to claim the team Triple Crown with a .364 batting average, 22 home runs and 81 RBIs.

NOTEWORTHY

QUICK HITSuDuring his four-game hit streak last week,

sophomore Zach Osborne was on fire, hit-ting .563 (9-for-16) with three home runs, seven runs scored and 10 RBIs. He had his first career two-home run game against Marshall on Sunday before hitting another in his first at-bat versus Morehead State on Wednesday, giving him three longballs in a span of four at-bats.uIn his first five starts of 2010, senior

Stephen McCray has already induced 44 groundball outs while giving up just 26 fly-outs in 30.1 innings, good for an astounding 1.69 groundout/flyout ratio. In comparison, McCray’s G/F ratio last season was 0.75, as he recorded just 44 groundouts in 52.1 more innings than he has pitched this season.uScoring the initial run of the game has

been a key to victory for Tennesse this season as it is 7-1 when it cracks the scoreboard first. When they allows its opponent to do so, how-ever, the Vols are just 3-9 with two of those wins coming on walk-off hits in the bottom of the ninth.uUT scored 40 runs in its season-opening

sweep over Xavier, the most since it tallied 47 in a three-game set against Radford in 2005.

SETTING THE TABLETennessee has been tremendously success-

ful at finding ways to get on base to start an inning this season. Through 20 games, the Vols have reached base 70 times in 178 leadoff opportunities, which equates to 39.3 percent of the time.

Less than half of those successful chances have come via a hit though, as UT leadoff hitters are batting just .214 (30-for-140) this season. Instead, the Vols have been working their way on base with 30 leadoff walks and eight hit-batters.

SO MANY CHOICES...When UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh fills

out his lineup card, he certainly has plenty of options at hand defensively. Already this season, UT has had 14 players combine to play a total of 30 different positions. The list is below:

Matt Duffy (3) - 3B/SS/LFBlake Forsythe (3) - C/1B/3BChris Fritts (3) - LF/CF/RFCody Grisham (3) - 2B/SS/3BMatt Hamaker (3) - C/1B/3BDrew Steckenrider (3) - LF/CF/RFAdam King (2) - C/1BJosh Liles (2) - CF/RFKhayyan Norfork (2) - 2B/LFPJ Polk (2) - LF/CFCody Hawn (1) - 1BZach Osborne (1) - SSCody Stubbs (1) - 1BCharley Thurber (1) - RF

BROTHERS IN ARMSThe story of this season for UT has been

starting pitching. In the last 13 games, Bryan Morgado, Steven Gruver, Stephen McCray, Rob Catapano and Aaron Tullo have com-bined to post a 1.91 ERA, allowing just 14 earned runs on 40 hits in 66.0 innings. They have also struck out 48 batters during their recent run of success, while walking only 22 and holding opposing hitters to a .174 batting average with just 12 extra-base hits.

For the year, the Tennessee pitching staff has limited opposing hitters to a batting average of .238, good for second in the league. Senior Stephen McCray leads all SEC players with an opposing batting average of .163, while junior Bryan Morgado is tied for fifth as opposing hit-ters are batting just .178 off of him.

MORGADO CLAIMS SEC PITCHER OF THE WEEK ACCOLADES

Following a stellar outing against Connecticut on Saturday, March 13, University of Tennessee junior southpaw Bryan Morgado became the first Volunteer in nearly three years to claim Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week honors. The last UT player to earn the accolades was James Adkins in the 12th week of the 2007 campaign.

Morgado twirled an absolute gem in the Orange and White’s 3-2 victory over the Huskies, claiming his second win of the sea-son with seven shutout innings of one-hit ball. The 6-3 lefty set a season high with nine strikeouts, while surrendering just one hit in the first inning. He then proceeded to sit down 19 of the final 21 batters he faced, including 12 straight at one point. He allowed just one runner, the double in the opening frame, to advance past first base during his seven innings on the mound.

With his nine punch-outs, Morgado moved his career total to 208, passing Luke Hudson (202) and Wyatt Allen (203) for sole possession of ninth place on UT’s all-time strikeout list.

ADKINS NAMED “CARE”ACTER STAR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Sophomore pitcher Adam Adkins has been selected as UT’s CAREacter Star Athlete of the Week. The CAREacter Program is based on a five-point star system that includes the basic traits of a true champion, whether on or off the field. Those traits are attitude, character, grades, community service and performance.

A southpaw from Goodlettsville, Tenn., Adkins has appeared in three games, strik-ing out two in 2.2 innings, and has an ERA of 6.75.

This semester, Adkins is participating in the VOLScholar Program for academic and citi-zenship-building and wears the VOLScholar logo on his uniform as the holder of a 3.0 or better grade-point average. The sophomore has a 3.2 GPA as an agricultural major.

Every two weeks one student-athlete is selected as the school’s “Star Athlete of the Week” based on the aforementioned five cri-teria. As a reward for their accomplishments, honorees will be recognized each week by their local media and presented with a T-shirt and a letter acknowledging them as their county’s “Star Athlete of the Week.”

HAMMERIN’ HAMAKERSenior Matt Hamaker had a breakout offen-

sive performance against Eastern Kentucky on March 3, notching the first two home run per-formance of his UT career. The 5-11 Clarksville, Tenn., native had just one home run in his first 31 at-bats as a Vol before blasting two in three plate appearances versus the Colonels.

FRITTS’ DIVING CATCH EARNS SPOT AMONG SPORTSCENTER’S TOP 10 PLAYS OF THE DAY

The diving catch made by University of Tennessee freshman outfielder Chris Fritts in the seventh inning of the Vols’ Feb. 28 game against No. 10 Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore., was tabbed No. 9 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 “Plays of the Day” on Monday, March 1.

It was also shown on the show “SportsNation” the following day, when it was voted “More Athletic” than an in-your-face dunk by the Phoenix Suns’ Amar’e Stoudemire. It did not, however, win a vote against a LeBron James alley-oop when it was up for the best play of the week award, but it did garner 39 percent of the vote.

With a runner on first and one out just moments after the Beavers scored their first run of the day on Sunday, OSU’s Carter Bell drove an 0-1 pitch from UT starter Stephen McCray to deep left. Although the ball was slicing away from him, Fritts made a leaping grab, somersaulted on the warning track and gunned it back into shortstop Zach Osborne who was able to relay it to Cody Stubbs at first to double up Parker Berberet to end the inning and the Oregon State threat.

GRUVER RECOGNIzED AS CB360 PRIMETIME PITCHER OF THE WEEK

After logging seven shutout innings against 10th-ranked Oregon State on Feb. 27, University of Tennessee sophomore southpaw Steven Gruver was named the CollegeBaseball360.com Primetime Pitcher of the Week, the web site announced March 2.

A native of Canfield, Ohio, Gruver picked up the first win of his collegiate career with a sterling performance against the Beavers on Saturday, getting the Volunteers back on track after a 17-1 loss the previous night. The 6-1 lefty threw seven shutout innings, while striking out a career-high nine and allowing only three hits and one walk.

Gruver allowed just two runners to reach second and none to advance to third during his time on the mound. He threw a total of 97 pitches with 65 going for strikes and sat down 11 of the final 12 batters he faced, including 10 straight at one point.

FORSYTHE NAMED TO JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST

Following a stellar sophomore season and a strong start to the 2010 campaign, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission announced that UT junior catcher Blake Forsythe was named to the Watch List for the 2010 Coleman Company Johnny Bench Award delivered by Papa John’s Pizza.

Fifty-three catchers were nominated for the award by their coaches. Because the award is given annually to the top division one catcher, the list will be updated to include other candi-dates until May 5, 2010.

POLK CLAIMS INITIAL SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS OF 2010 SEASON

After leading Tennessee to its first season-opening series sweep since 2004 with a trio of three-hit performances, junior outfielder P.J. Polk was named the first Southeastern Conference Player of the Week of the 2010

campaign on Feb. 22. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native was 9-for-12 during the open-ing weekend, good for a stellar .750 batting average.

In addition to his nine hits, Polk also walked three times to allow him to reach base safely in 12 of his 16 plate appearances. The 5-9 speedster posted a tremendous 1.083 slug-ging percentage with four doubles and five singles, while also adding a pair of stolen bases, two RBIs, a sacrifice fly, as assist from his position in left field and a team-high seven runs.

The award was the second of Polk’s career, as he also earned the honors in week nine last season after hitting for a .455 average in the Volunteers’ series win on the road against top-ranked LSU.

MORGADO RETURNS FOR JUNIOR SEASON; BACK IN THE ROTATION

A third-round pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2009, UT junior Bryan Morgado is one of just three college players drafted in the first three rounds to return to school, joining Kentucky’s James Paxton and Arizona State pitcher Josh Spence.

In 2009, the Miami, Fla., native started five games and made 15 appearances out of the bullpen for the Volunteers. He finished the year with a 4-2 record, a 6.36 ERA and two saves, while striking out a team high 75 bat-ters in 52 1/3 innings.

The 6-3 left-hander has returned to the Tennessee rotation as its Friday night starter in 2010 after spending most of his sophomore campaign pitching out of the bullpen.

UT SCHEDULE RANKED AS 16TH MOST DIFFICULT BY BOYDSWORLD.COM

With a schedule that features a total of 34 games against teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year, the University of Tennessee baseball schedule has been rated as the 16th-most difficult among 301 NCAA Division I teams, according to BoydsWorld.com.

The Volunteers’ schedule ranks as the third-hardest in the Southeastern Conference, behind only Georgia (No. 8) and Arkansas (No. 15).

VOLS NAME CAPTAINS FOR 2010 SEASONThe Tennessee baseball team announced

Wednesday that juniors Blake Forsythe, Josh Liles, Bryan Morgado and Rob Catapano will serve the squad’s captains for the 2010 cam-paign.

SUMMER LEAGUE SUCCESS FOR VOLSAfter a strong finish to the 2009 season, a

numbe of Vols were able to carry that momen-tum over into summer league action where they put their talents on full display.

Junior Bryan Morgado spent his summer helping to lead the Bourne Braves to their first-ever league championship in the presti-gious Cape Cod League. In the regular season portion of the team’s schedule, he threw 32.1 innings, amassing a 2-1 record with a 3.06 ERA in eight appearances, including six starts.

While Morgado was setting down hitters in Cape Cod, UT sophomore Steven Gruver was dominating the Northwoods League, earning postseason all-star honors. As the undisputed ace of the La Crosse Loggers pitching staff, Gruver put together a stellar 7-1 record and 2.23 ERA in 14 appearances, while leading his team to the championship series.

FORSYTHE SPENDS SUMMER WITH USA COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM

Following a breakout season in 2009, junior catcher Blake Forsythe completed a stint with the USA Collegiate Baseball National Team this summer, where he hit at a .293 clip with a pair of home runs and nine RBIs. He also walked 21 times in as many games, en route to an impressive .500 on-base percentage. He is the 17th Vol to have either played for or been invited to try out for Team USA.

NEW FACES IN THE CROWDThe Volunteers have welcomed 14 newcom-

ers to Rocky Top this season. Highlighting the group are four freshmen that heard their name called in the 2009 Major League Baseball

Draft. The class includes a total of nine fresh-men, two transfers and three junior college players.CATAPANO BRINGS CWS EXPERIENCE

Junior left-handed pitcher Rob Catapano brings an element to this year’s team that no other Volunteer can claim: experience playing in the College World Series.

The 6-0 Knoxville native is donning the Orange and White for the first time in 2010 after sitting out a season after transferring from North Carolina. During his time as a Tar Heel, Catapano amassed a 5-1 record and 3.42 ERA in 46 appearances, including seven starts.

North Carolina advanced to the College World Series in both of his seasons in Chapel Hill. Catapano twirled 1 1/3 innings of score-less relief against Rice, as well as a a third of an inning versus Oregon State in the squad’s first go-around and another perfect inning against Fresno State the following year.

NEW FACES ON THE COACHING STAFFIn addition to the 14 new players, Tennessee

also welcomes a trio of new coaches in pitch-ing coach Jason Beverlin, volunteer assistant Bill Currier and strength and conditioning coach Herman Demmink. Former volunteer assistant Nate Headley also moved into a full-time position as the team’s director of opera-tions during the offseason.

HOMEGROWN TALENT PLENTIFUL ON TENNESSEE ROSTER

Tennessee’s roster includes 16 players from the state of Tennessee (44 percent of the ros-ter). Four Vols are from Knox County and one is from Hamilton County (Chattanooga), while five other hail from West Tennessee and six are from Middle Tennessee.

VERMONT’S LOSS IS TENNESSEE’S GAINWhen the University of Vermont made the

decision to disband its baseball program last year, Catamount coaches and players were not sure what their futures held. For two, shortstop Matt Duffy and head coach Bill

Currier, their paths would lead to Tennessee.The 2009 America East Conference Player of

the Year, Duffy found out he would be playing in Knoxville in April. It wasn’t until the next January though, that he discovered that he would be joined by his former head coach, as Bill Currier assumed the reigns as UT’s volun-teer assistant coach.

Duffy, who has moved to third with the Vols, hit .388 with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs en route to second-team All-American honors. Currier coached at Vermont for 22 years, put-ting together a record of 486-470.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHINGAccording to freshman outfielder Chris

Fritts, the sacrifice bunt he laid down in the third inning of UT’s 17-1 win over Xavier on Sun., Feb. 21, was the first of his life, including high school and summer league ball.

“I didn’t even really think about it until I got back to the dugout and all of the guys were giving me high-fives,” Fritts said. “Bunting was not one of my strong points when I got here, but I’ve done a lot of extra work before practices to get better at it, so it felt good to get that first one down.”

SECOND PHASE OF RENOVATIONS UNDER-WAY AT LINDSEY NELSON STADIUM

The second of four phases of renovations is nearing completion at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Crews have already finished add-ing a new club area and MVP seating behind home plate that will allow fans to sit closer to the field. Permanent chair-back seating has also been added throughout the entire main grandstand, while the stadium’s exterior has been faced with brick. In addition, the visitor’s locker room behind the third-base dugout has been renovated and a a new batting cage facility, approximately 60 yards in length, will be added down the right-field line.

The first phase, complete prior to the 2009 season, included more than $4 million worth of improvements, primarily to player devel-opment areas. Work was finished on a team clubhouse that features a state-of-the art lock-

SEC COACHES PICK VOLS TO FINISH SIXTH IN PRESEASON POLL

Tennessee was picked to finish sixth in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division, as determined by a vote of the league’s 12 head coaches, the conference office announced prior to the season. LSU was predicted to repeat as the 2010 SEC champions.

In the overall SEC Champion vote, LSU received five of a possible 11 votes. Florida received four votes while Arkansas had three. In addition to picking a preseason SEC cham-pion, the league’s head coaches voted a pre-dicted order of finish in the SEC Eastern and Western Divisions.

In the Eastern Division, Florida was the favorite with 64 of a possible 66 points. South Carolina came in second with 52 points and Georgia third with 42. Tennessee finished with a total of 19 points in the poll. LSU was named the favorite in the Western Division with a total of 63 points. Arkansas was second with 59, while Ole Miss, who shared the overall title last season with LSU, finished third with 39.

Points were compiled on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for each division. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. Each coach also voted for one team as an overall conference champion.
