Tony Vitello named Coach of the Year by National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association

What a year it’s been for Tennessee baseball and Tony Vitello. After a hot start last season and losing the rest of the schedule to the pandemic, Tennessee came roaring back during the 2020-21 slate to win the SEC East and capture the No. 3 overall seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

They’ve now moved through the regional and super regional rounds to advance to the College World Series in Omaha. For his efforts, Tony Vitello has been named coach of the year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

The organization made the announcement on Friday morning.
