Ryan Galanie was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 13th round of the 2023 Major League Baseball draft (No. 389 overall).
Galanie transferred to Tennessee from Wofford on July 2.
He thanked Tennessee fans in a social media post on Saturday.
“To the Tennessee fans that supported me, I appreciate all the love,” Galanie said. “There wasn’t a fan base in college baseball that could’ve supported me more with pure class. I know I never got to suit up for the Vols, but I can’t say thank you enough.”
Galanie started 58 games at first base in 2023 at Wofford. He recorded 17 home runs, 88 hits, 66 RBIs, 73 runs, 40 walks, 35 stolen bases and a .383 batting average last season.
Galanie earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors in 2023.
He started 59 games at third base in 2022.
