Tennessee Softball 2025

Congrats to Baseball! Maybe softball can do it one day! As of today this seems like a potential lineup: LF Gabby CF Alannah RF Taylor 1B Boo 2B Bella SS Laura 3B Kinsey C/DP Sophia C/DP Elsa (if she enrolls early), that leaves Des, Katie, Amayah and Emma (both highly rated but you never know) challenging for PT. Overall it seems 1 bat short. Hate Arkansas got Wyckoff.

That leaves us hoping to pick up a solid pitcher in the next few days/weeks to support Karlyn. If not, Erin and Peyton will just have to step up. As stated earlier don’t know if we can sign a pitcher and get Elsa early, I hope we can.
I think it’s a longshot that Morrison enrolls early and an even longer shot that she plays if she does. Would likely be the same situation as Dodge this spring, on the team, but redshirting.

There is no way Katie Taylor is going to start next season ahead of Taylor Pannell in right field. Pannell was First-team All-SEC this past season and had several decisive home runs that saved ball games for us.

I’ll respectfully disagree on playing. She won’t start unless injury but she’s day 1 ready to play next spring or her freshman year whichever comes first.

Ella moved last season to play high school in Knoxville but couldn’t find a place in time. Went homeschooled first semester and enrolled early.

Pannell says hi.

Let Elsa complete her senior year at Farragut and then come in ready for the fall of freshman year. Nugent with a little help can cover the catcher spot . Yes when Elsa gets here she will start for four years and be glad in it.

I agree, the Taylor I had in RF was Pannell and Katie trying to find PT. I Need to start using last names LOL

I don’t think she could enroll until January. As I said with Dodge last year, a player that has not gone through the fall and the strength and conditioning program is not going to be ready to play in the spring. You are free to disagree, but unless she could rework it to enroll in the fall, I don’t think she would play in the spring. It would be a wasted year for her if she pinch it and played sparingly because she wasn’t physically ready for a 50 game grind. There’s no doubt she has the talent to hit and catch at this level, but the physical nature of the game is something that takes acclamation, at least in a fall to be ready to do it at this level.

That’s huge!!! She still has 3 years left…..,
That makes us a younger team moving forward now. With only having Sophia, Laura, Kinsey and McKenna for this year. We’ll have Pickens for 2 more years, Mardjetko and Pannell for 3 more years, along with any freshman that steps up this year. Hard now to see any freshman having a chance to contribute this year with the depth the bench could have with Rodriguez being the first one off the bench.
