Jim Schlossnagle, Texas: Entering his second season at the helm of the storied Texas baseball program, Schlossnagle has been a head coach for over two decades, with previous stops at UNLV, TCU, and Texas A&M. Schlossnagle earned his 1000 career victory against the Baylor Bears at the Bruce Bolt Classic in Houston earlier this season.

Josh Elander, Tennessee: One of the many Schlossnagle disciples in the head coaching ranks, Elander played catcher at TCU before jumping into professional baseball. He’s been a part of the Volunteers' coaching staff since 2018 and won the 2024 National Championship, notably beating Schlossnagle and Texas A&M in Omaha. Elander was promoted to head coach after Tony Vitello left to become the San Fransico Giants manager.

What To Know About The Volunteers

It has been a rocky season for the Vols, losing conference series to Georgia, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Ole Miss, while claiming victories against LSU, Missouri, Alabama, and sweeping a series against then-No. 9 Mississippi State.

At the plate, Tennessee is led by Wright Garrett, batting an .350 average with 49 hits, 23 RBI and six home runs. The Vols’ home run and RBI leader is Henry Ford with 15 homers and 49 RBI heading into the series with the Longhorns.

Despite their under .500 record in conference play, the starting arms for the Volunteers have been solid. Tennessee ace Tegan Kuhns has allowed 25 earned runs with a .346 ERA across his 11 starts this season.

Kuhns, Saturday and Sunday starters, Evan Blanco, and Landon Mack have been serviceable starters with all three delivering as inning eaters to preserve the bullpen this season.

Just like the Longhorns, the Vols have a premier freshman closer in Cam Appenzeller, who holds a 4.12 ERA and has tossed for 49 strikeouts this year.

Notably, Lindsey Nelson Stadium is a smaller stadium compared to UFCU Disch-Falk Field and has been known for being a hitter-friendly ballpark. The Centerfield straightaway is 390 feet, with left and right field being 320 feet down the line.
