ICYMI:

Tennessee got big news yesterday, as 4 important Vols confirmed they will be returning for the 2027 season 🍊

[Talkin’ Tennessee @BoxOfficeVols]

According to the great guys that are covering and breaking Tennessee baseball news, there are still at least 2 big returners yet to be announced.

I’m sure more than just 2 will follow, but retaining the big names is huge and official word on those should be coming soon.

Maybe it’s a sentimental opinion, but this is who I’d love to see Tennessee call to take over as pitching coach:

@heyitsjulianfr @kmartinkadin I’m flattered you think I’m very popular WCE

Jackson Estes will be RETURNING to Tennessee in 2027, via @ByMikeWilson 🔒

Estes was the #9 player and #1 LHP out of Arkansas by Perfect Game, but missed all of 2026 due to injury.

Josh Elander in a statement: “I want to thank Josh Reynolds for his hard work and dedication to the Tennessee baseball program ... but I have decided it’s best for our program to move in a different direction from a pitching standpoint at this time.” https://t.co/HuRUWNNMQD

[Talkin’ Tennessee @BoxOfficeVols]

Elander and staff aren’t messing around.

This was a decision that felt imminent, but I thought there was a chance they give him another year and then reevaluate. Best wishes to him, but the right move for the program.

Tennessee has parted ways with pitching coach Josh Reynolds, source tells @Volquest_On3.

Reynolds spent one season in the position and two seasons on the Tennessee staff. He was the director of pitching performance in 2025. https://t.co/HuRUWNNMQD

@JamesPricevols1 Weird

[Talkin’ Tennessee @BoxOfficeVols]

The fact we already have Cam Appenzeller and Landon Mack locked in the rotation for 2027 is huge.

This allows us to go ALL IN on one big starting pitcher out of the portal, instead of trying to piece together a Frankenstein rotation

Will Haas is returning to Tennessee in 2027, he tells @Volquest_On3.

The left-handed pitcher emerged as a key reliever in the back half of the season after returning from the internal brace procedure. The freshman struck out 23 and walked five in 14 innings across 15 appearances
