Heflin went 3.1 IP last night 0 ER 0 H 3 BB 7 SO. Looks like he'll stick around the Cape most of the summer.

I’m assuming Heflin was recognized on senior day because he graduated. I assumed he wasn’t returning at the time due to that.

This is awesome to see. No walks! Heard he was a great kid. Too bad it took his summer pitching coach up there to get him back in track.

Just go away.

Truth hurts huh buddy.

Truth hurts huh buddy.

You’re dogging the coaching staff that just led the best season we have had in 15 years. Do you really think anyone is going to listen to you?

Your personal vendetta against the staff is pretty incredible

 

[SoonerVol]

Truth hurts huh buddy.

I think you have an agenda. An obvious bias.

There is no truth in what you are saying.

Karma’s a bitch.

Good first game for one of our Vols -
The Saints welcomed left fielder Evan Russell (Tennessee) to the team only hours before the game. After being walked his first three at bats, he doubled to the gap in left field. He was brought home after catcher Jacob Wyeth (Cisco) hit a grounder to the Blues’ pitcher, who was only able to make the out at first.
“Evan Russell is a really good player. He is a big addition to us,” head coach Aaron Milam said. “He is going to make a big impact on the field but I think he is also going to make a big impact in the dugout.”
The Saints are on the road again on Sunday as they take on the MLB Academy Barons in Compton, Calif. This will be the second time the two teams will face each other this week. The first pitch will be thrown at 7 p.m.
“We got a few arms left, we are going to throw a lot of lefties at [the Barons] because that is what seemed to equalize them on Wednesday,” Milam said. “Our goal this week was to win the week and we still have an opportunity to do that tomorrow.”

This pitching staff next year has potential to be one of the best in the SEC

GO BIG ORANGE!

Heflin is going to be a monster next year. Last nights line: 4.1ip 2h 0r 1bb 2so. He’s got a .58 ERA in 15.1ip this summer with 8h 4bb and 18so. Not easy to do in the cape.

I like what I’m seeing from our Vols in summer ball. Gettin work in!

Summer Ball Update #4: Austin Knight Stays Hot for Kalamazoo - University of Tennessee Athletics

For those around western North Carolina who'd like to see some summer ball, I'm hosting this event. Vol baseball fans (including non alumni) are welcome.

You're kidding??? Lordy, who is advising that kid? Stats don't lie Ammo. You need to come back and prove you can play. Pros clearly spoke by not drafting you that you cannot at this point. And the pros are notorious for drafting anybody they deem as having "potential."

Will there be room on roster with all the recruits on way in....

 

[Rumorgirl]

Will Heflin is playing up in the cape this summer as well for the Harwich Mariners. There’s a strong presence of vols up in the cape this summer.

Will needs to add some MPH...

 

[RollerVol]

Will needs to add some MPH...

yep, would be nice, but actually I'll sacrifice some MPH for control and pitching to an exact spot...

GO BIG ORANGE!
