After three Vols heard their names called on the first day of the 2022 MLB draft (Drew Gilbert at No. 28, Jordan Beck at No. 38 and Blade Tidwell at No. 52), there’s been more orange and white in day two of the draft than drivers see from traffic barrels on Knoxville interstates.
Trey Lipscomb — Washington Nationals — Round three — 84th pick
Lipscomb was the first Vol to go on day two as he went early in the third round to the Washington Nationals. The Nats here, maybe more with Lipscomb than with other players, are making a ceiling play and hoping his one season of outrageous production is a sign of things to come rather than an aberration.
