Tennessee beats out Texas for elite linebacker

Tennessee baseball remained hot in the transfer portal Wednesday when left-handed pitcher Mark Hindy announced his commitment to the Vols after one season at Duke. GoVols247's baseball beat writer Ben McKee was joined by former Tennessee pitcher Will Heflin on the latest Diamond Vols Podcast to discuss the importance of Hindy's commitment. They also shared their thoughts on where UT's pitching staff now stands, Dylan Loy's decision to transfer to Georgia Tech, Tegan Kuhns' performance in the Cape Cod League and what the Vols still need from the portal. Joe Doyle, the founder and host of the Over-Slot Podcast, as well as a senior analyst for Future Star Series, then joined the podcast for the second segment to preview this weekend's 2025 MLB Draft. You can follow Doyle on X, formerly known as Twitter, for his great draft coverage at @JoeDoyleMiLB. The Diamond Vols Podcast covered many topics with Doyle. They discussed the likelihood Tennessee's highly-touted high school signees Kruz Schoolcraft and Cameron Appenzeller make it to campus, whether Virginia transfer Henry Ford will make it to campus, where Brandon Arvidson could go in the draft after his big postseason, where he envisions Liam Doyle being drafted; and the latest with Andrew Fischer, Gavin Kilen, Dean Curley, Marcus Phillips and AJ Russell. Doyle also shared his thought on the latest draft talk surrounding Vols' Cannon Peebles, Reese Chapman and Dalton Bargo; as well as much more.
