Two of the top college baseball programs in the country go head-to-head Friday as No. 1 UCLA meets No. 20 Tennessee at Globe Life Field as part of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series.
The Bruins (6-2) are coming off a midweek home loss to San Diego State but have all kinds of firepower. Shortstop Roch Cholowsky, the projected No. 1 pick in this year’s MLB Draft, is hitting .400 with six home runs through eight games, and Texas transfer Will Gasparino also has six homers.
The Vols (6-2) won it all in 2024 but were down a bit last year, finishing 46-19 and seeing its title defense end in the super regionals. The biggest offseason development was head coach Tony Vitello’s stunning departure to take over as manager of the San Francisco Giants.
Josh Elander stepped up to the top job after eight years on Vitello’s staff and has plenty of talent at his disposal, including a couple of highly rated draft prospects in outfielder Henry Ford (.324, 3 HR) and right-hander Tegan Kuhns (0.73 ERA, 12 strikeouts in 12 innings).
It’s a fantastic early season matchup for baseball fans. Here’s how to watch all the action.
