Three Vols projected in 2025 MLB mock draft first round
The 2025 MLB draft will take place July 13-14 at Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, Georgia.
Liam Doyle, Gavin Kilen, Andrew Fischer, Dean Curley, Marcus Phillips, AJ Russell, Tanner Franklin and Nate Snead are former Vols expected to be drafted in 2025.
Eight former Vols were selected in the 2024 MLB draft: Christian Moore (Angels), Blake Burke (Milwaukee), Billy Amick (Minnesota), Dylan Dreiling (Texas), Drew Beam (Kansas City), Kavares Tears (San Diego), A.J. Causey (Kansas City) and Aaron Combs (White Sox).
Kiley McDaniel of ESPN released a mock draft for the first round. Below are 2025 MLB draft projections and excerpts for Tennessee players from McDaniel.
Liam Doyle
Team: Los Angeles Angels
Pick: No. 2
“Despite his excellent season, Doyle’s interest seems to have a major hole in it. While there’s believed to be real interest in him at No. 2, teams picking behind the Angels think Doyle could slide all the way to No. 9 or No. 10.”
Gavin Kilen
Team: Tampa Bay
Pick: No. 14
“The Rays pick again at Nos. 37 and 42, and there’s a chance most of those prep players will still be around for an overslot bonus, so grabbing a rising college bat that should go by the 20th pick is a good strategy.”
Andrew Fischer
Team: Detroit
Pick: No. 24
“Fischer is rising due to his strong performance in the SEC this year, and while he’s likely still behind (Ike) Irish, he might be sneaking up on (Jace) Laviolette with a chance to go in the top 20 picks.”

Brody Trosclair has committed to Tennessee baseball as a transfer from Northwestern State, he announced on Instagram on Monday.
Trosclair was on Tennessee’s campus for an official visit on Sunday. Trosclair took visits to Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida and LSU. Ole Miss was also in the picture before he committed to the Vols and coach Josh Elander.
Trosclair shined as a freshman at Northwestern State with a 5-1 record and a 1.89 ERA in 10 appearances with four starts. The southpaw logged 38 innings of work, struck out 55 and walked 11. Opponents tallied a .222 batting average against him. The freshman allowed just eight extra base hits in 2026.
Trosclair was named the 2026 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Southland Conference Pitcher. The pitcher was unscored upon in his first five relief appearances and did not allow an earned run in 13.2 innings of relief work.
He suffered a season-ending injury in April. He is not eligible for the MLB Draft until 2028.
Trosclair becomes the second transfer portal commit of the cycle for the Vols, joining Mercer two-way player Braydon Kersey.
Trosclair is one of the top-ranked players in the portal. The transfer portal officially opened on June 1 and Trosclair announced his intentions to enter on the first day.
