WATCH: Tennessee baseball releases iconic build up video for College World Series Finals against Texas A&M
The 2024 College World Series Finals kicks off tonight between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Texas A&M Aggies in their best-of-three series. Ahead of the series, the Volunteers released a hype video about winning the national championship, spliced in with highlights from the season.
The Vols have been one of the best teams in all of college baseball throughout the season. They looked dominant, going 58-12 thus far and remaining undefeated in the College World Series.
They have an extremely formidable opponent in the Texas A&M Aggies, who possess one of the best pitching staffs in the NCAA. But this Vols lineup has a lot of power and excitement around it.
Will this be the year that the Tennessee Volunteers win their first College World Series Championship or will it be another year of falling just short? Only time will tell.
What should people expect out of the Tennessee Volunteers in the 2024 College World Series?
The Tennessee Volunteers have been one of the most complete teams in the entire nation throughout the season. They have made the College World Series three times in the last four years. With one of the country's best coaches in Tony Vitello, the Vols are prepared for the battle that will ensue from tonight.
These two teams have played once, last month during the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Tennessee was able to pick up the 7-4 win and eventually win the SEC Title. The Aggies are on a hot streak, not losing in their eight games during the NCAA Tournament thus far.
For the Vols, they are going to depend on the production that the offense can bring as that has carried them through Omaha to this point. They have scored 25 runs in their three CWS games (8.3 runs per game) and have five starters in their lineup with a 1.000+ OPS throughout the season.
The Aggies are built on their pitching staff. If the Volunteers can extend at-bats and make the opposing pitcher uncomfortable, Tennessee should walk away with their first College World Series Championship ever.
