Eight former Vols were selected in the 2024 MLB draft: Christian Moore (Angels), Blake Burke ( Milwaukee ), Billy Amick ( Minnesota ), Dylan Dreiling ( Texas ), Drew Beam (Kansas City), Kavares Tears ( San Diego ), A.J. Causey (Kansas City) and Aaron Combs ( White Sox ).
Kiley McDaniel of ESPN released a mock draft for the first round. Below are 2025 MLB draft projections and excerpts for Tennessee players from McDaniel.
Liam Doyle
Liam Doyle
Team: Los Angeles Angels
Pick: No. 2
"Despite his excellent season, Doyle's interest seems to have a major hole in it. While there's believed to be real interest in him at No. 2, teams picking behind the Angels think Doyle could slide all the way to No. 9 or No. 10."

Gavin Kilen
Team: Tampa Bay
Pick: No. 14
"The Rays pick again at Nos. 37 and 42, and there's a chance most of those prep players will still be around for an overslot bonus, so grabbing a rising college bat that should go by the 20th pick is a good strategy."
Andrew Fischer
Andrew Fischer
Team: Detroit
Pick: No. 24
"Fischer is rising due to his strong performance in the SEC this year, and while he's likely still behind (Ike) Irish, he might be sneaking up on (Jace) Laviolette with a chance to go in the top 20 picks."
