Tennessee baseball fans react to pitcher Chase Burns being selected No. 2 overall

Former Tennessee baseball pitcher star Chase Burns, who transferred to Wake Forest, was drafted second overall by the Cincinnati Reds during the 2024 MLB Draft on Sunday.

Burns went 10-1 with a 2.88 ERA in a career-high 100 innings pitched for the Demon Deacons in 2024.

Prior to his year at Wake Forest, Burns looked to be the next face of the Tennessee Volunteer bullpen after being a major part of the Vols 2023 run to the College World Series.

After being moved in the bullpen during the 2023 season Burns eventually entered the trasnfer portal, which left many Tennessee fans with a sour taste in their mouths.

Here’s how some Tennessee fans are reacting to Burns being drafted second overall to Cincinnati:

Tennessee drops series to Ole Miss with game two loss

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Tennessee Volunteers baseball team dropped game two to Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon, 8-1. The Rebels clinch the series, the first time Ole Miss has won a series in Knoxville since 2016.

A bright spot for the Vols was Tegan Kuhns who threw 5.2 innings not allowing a run, striking out 10 batters on five hits.

Cam Appenzeller picked up his first loss of the season coming in out of the bullpen for Kuhns. The SEC Freshman of the Week did not have a great outing. Appenzeller went 2.1 innings giving up six earned runs.

Tennessee escaped a shutout as Trent Grindlinger hit a solo home run in the ninth inning. Grindlinger’s home run was one of Tennessee’s two hits on the night.

The Volunteers look to avoid the series sweep as theY round out the series with Ole Miss on Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. on the SEC Network+.
