Tennessee’s 2023 baseball schedule
The 2023 season will be the sixth for Tennessee under head coach Tony Vitello.
Since 2018, Vitello has compiled a 191–77 (71–49 SEC) record at Tennessee. Vitello has guided the Vols to three NCAA Tournament appearances (2019, 2021-22). The 2020 season was canceled after 17 games due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Tennessee advanced to the 2021 College World Series and won the Southeastern Conference East division for the second consecutive season in 2022, while winning the SEC regular-season and tournament championships last season.
Ahead of opening day, Vitello met with media and previewed the 2023 season. Vitello’s preview can be watched below.
