Tennessee baseball seeks transfers to fill roster gaps for 2027 season
Summary

Tennessee baseball is actively addressing roster needs for the 2027 season as it enters the transfer portal. The Vols secured their first transfer commitment from Braydon Kersey, a two-way player from Mercer. With 14 players, including a starter, set to depart, Coach Josh Elander is focusing on acquiring an experienced starting pitcher, reliable relievers, and an impact outfield bat. The team will also need to find a player for the left side of the infield following multiple potential losses to the MLB draft or transfer portal. The search comes as Tennessee looks to mitigate the impact of player departures while integrating a strong incoming freshman class.
