Tennessee 13, Auburn 4

In what was a less than stellar night for pitchers, Tennessee and Auburn took the field at Samford Stadium showcasing two of the top college bats for this June’s MLB Draft. Tennessee third baseman Nick Senzel has generated some top five overall buzz after following up an impressive summer in the Cape Cod League with a strong spring. Auburn outfielder Anfernee Grier has also generated first round hype following a strong summer with Team USA and a big spring of his own.

The game jumped out to an early start with Tennessee running up a four spot in the top of the first. Senzel made his way to the plate third in the inning and reached base on a sharply hit groundball to shortstop. Senzel possess plus bat speed at the plate with a subtle shift into the ball and small leg lift timing mechanism.

He has big raw strength as he showed off in batting practice, peppering the left field wall with several line drives. Senzel has four home runs this year, but it’s easy to project above average pop at the next level. Senzel stands at an athletically listed 6-foot-1, 205-pounds with long arms and a broad chest that could handle additional strength, but at this point would compromise some athleticism.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
