Tony Vitello has done a great job developing talent on Rocky Top, resulting in the program's first College World Series championship. His work developing players has also started translating to players becoming valuable assets in the MLB.
Mike Honcho a.k.a. Jordan Beck and the Colorado Rockies are wrapping up a weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the best pitcher in baseball, Paul Skenes, took the mound on Saturday for the Pirates.
Skenes, the former LSU Tiger, has quickly become an elite pitcher and is widely regarded as one of the best pitchers in baseball since his MLB debut in 2024.
