Tennessee Vols Lose Key Player to Transfer Portal
2 Jun
Summary
- Hunter High, a former in-state prospect, has entered the transfer portal.
- High hit .343 in 44 college plate appearances for the Vols.
- His departure is seen as a significant loss due to his batting power.
The Tennessee Volunteers baseball program has experienced a notable departure, with Hunter High entering the college baseball transfer portal. High, a former in-state prospect hailing from Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, has been a part of the Vols roster for three seasons. During his tenure, the utility player demonstrated considerable promise, evidenced by his .343 batting average across 44 plate appearances.
Despite his strong performance at the plate, High's playing time was limited by the team's deep outfield. Nevertheless, his exceptional bat power and potential as a hitter, likely a starter or designated hitter for the upcoming season, made his departure a significant blow. Head coach Josh Elander and his staff now face the task of bolstering the roster by attracting new talent to uphold the program's aspirations for continued success.
