2011 Season

Record: 25-29
SEC Finish: 7-23 (6th East)
Postseason: N/A
Coach: Todd Raleigh (4th season)

The Vols entered SEC play on a nine-game winning streak, but that early success didn't last long especially in an SEC East that sent three teams to the College World Series.

Ultimately, five Vols were taken in the MLB Draft, and outfielder Andrew Toles earned freshman All-SEC honors.

Postseason: N/A

The Vols got off to a slow start in SEC play and ended with five straight conference losses to miss the postseason for the third straight year.

In between, however, UT looked like an NCAA Tournament-caliber team, winning as many as six straight SEC games for just the third time in the last 40 years.

The 2009 season was an up and down one for the Vols, who struggled to find consistency on the mound and at the plate.

UT's RPI jumped from 89 to 58 in 2009, despite playing 36 games against teams ranked in the top 50 at the end of the regular season.

The Vols learned to love the long-ball in 2008, Todd Raleigh's first season as head coach. The Vols hit 67 homers in 58 games in 2008, the fifth highest total in school history, all without three first-round picks from the 2007 team.

Pitcher Bryan Morgado earned Freshman All-America honors after striking out 104 batters.

The Vols missed out on an NCAA Tournament berth despite finishing nine games over .500 for the season and major contributions from future major-leaguers Julio Bourbon and J.P. Arencibia.

The 2007 season also marked the end of Rod Delmonico's 18-year run as the Vols' head coach.

Three members of the 2006 team -- Sean Watson, Kelly Edmundson and Michael Rivera -- were selected in the first 17 rounds of the MLB draft.

Future first-round pick Luke Hochevar led one of the Vols' best teams all the way to Omaha.

Fellow pitcher James Adkins, as well as future big-leaguers Chase Headley, Julio Bourbon and J.P. Arencibia also played big roles in helping Tennessee reach the College World Series for the first time since 2001.

Record: 31-24
