- Bo Moody and Matthew Rollison are also hitting above .300 this season for the Blue Hose. Both boast a .304 average.

FRESHMAN PHENOM
Bo Moody has been one of the most productive freshmen in the Big South this season. He has been named Big South Freshman of the Week twice (March 23, April 6) and leads the team with 16 multi-hit games. He leads the team in runs scored (36) and is second in batting average (.304), hits (48), on-base percentage, doubles, triples, and stolen bases.
BROOKS WALLACE AWARD SEMIFINALIST
Bo Moody was named a semifinalist for the Brooks Wallace Award as announced by the College Baseball Foundation on April 22. The award honors the nation's top shortstop and will be presented by the CBF later this year. Moody was named as one of 50 of the nation's best shortstops, selected based on both offensive and defensive production this season. Moody is one of two shortstops recognized from the Big South, the other being High Point's Willie Ponce. He is also one of only two freshmen to earn this prestigious honor. Linkin Garcia from Texas Tech is the only other freshman to be named a semifinalist.
RECORD-BREAKING ROLLISON
Matthew Rollison delivered a record-breaking performance at Charleston Southern on April 4. Against the Buccaneers, he homered three times, tying the PC Division 1 single-game home run record, joining Andrew Williams and Brad Zebedis in 2012. He finished the game 3-for-5 with seven RBIs. His seven RBIs are tied for the second most by a PC player in a single game in the D1 era. Only Nick Wise had more, logging eight at UNC Asheville in 2018. Rollison was named Big South Player of the Week for his performance on April 6. He was also named to Baseball America's National Team of the Week. On the season, he leads the team in hits (49), OPS (.869), slugging percentage (.522), triples (3), and total bases (84).
COMPLETE GAME PITCHING
The Blue Hose threw back-to-back complete games in PC's first conference series of the year against UNC Asheville. On March 14, Christian Charalambous threw a complete game shutout, going all nine innings. He allowed just four hits and struck out seven. His complete game shutout is the first PC complete game shutout since Brian Kehner on March 17, 2017 against Army. Tristan McGregor followed with PC's second complete game in as many days on March 15, pitching all seven innings while punching out 11 (both career-highs).
INCOMING TRANSFERS
Head coach Elton Pollock added eight transfers to this year's squad. James Green, Sammy Vander Hill, Caden Mason, Bauer Burkart, Emory Guilford, Ian Lindsay, Braiden Eagen, and Matthew Cannon are the new transfer additions for the Blue Hose.
NEW FRESHMAN
Nine freshmen join the Blue Hose this season. Domaine Vann, Bo Moody, Tucker Meredith, Jonathan Williams, Cole Morgan, Landon Nichols, Nathan Sofield, Jayden Adams, and Aidan Taylor join Coach Pollock's squad as incoming freshmen.
COACH POLLOCK
Head coach Elton Pollock enters his 22nd season at the helm of the Blue Hose. In 2025, Coach Pollock guided a young roster through one of the toughest non-conference schedules to date, earning a key win over No. 23 Alabama, halting their undefeated season.
SCOUTING THE VOLUNTEERS
- Tennessee leads the all-time series with Presbyterian, holding a 2-1 record since PC became a D1 program in 2008. The Vols won the first two matchups, but the Blue Hose won the most recent meeting 10-6 on April 5, 2011.
- This is Tennessee's fourth time facing a Big South opponent this season. The Vols have defeated UNC Asheville twice while also holding a win over USC Upstate.
- The Volunteers come into Tuesday with a 31-17 overall record and an 11-13 mark in SEC play. Tennessee dropped two of three this past weekend in conference play on the road at Kentucky.
- As a team, Tennessee averages 7.1 runs per game and holds a .275 batting average. On the mound, the Vols have a 4.49 ERA.
- Head coach Josh Elander leads the Volunteers in his first season.
