Baseball Time in Tennessee is just two days away!
This month, UTSports.com is counting down the days leading up to the start of the Vols' 2016 campaign (Feb. 19) with a look back at the many players who donned each jersey No. 30 through No. 1.
For the second consecutive year, the Vols will open the season on the road, as Tennessee travels to Chattanooga, Tenn., to face Memphis for a three-game series (Feb. 19-20). The team will continue playing on the road in the Grand Canyon Classic (Feb. 26-28) before returning home to take on Cincinnati on Wednesday, March 2 in their home opener at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The Big Orange takes to the road again for the Keith LeClair Classic in Greenville, N.C. (March 4-6), later returning to Knoxville for a home matchup against Western Kentucky on March 8. Before Tennessee baseball’s home weekend series vs. UC Irvine on March 11-13, the Vols will also travel to Johnson City, Tenn. for a rubber match against ETSU (March 9).
The Orange & White will host SEC rival Ole Miss the following weekend (March 18-20) for the program's first home conference series. Additionally, Kentucky (April 1-3), Vanderbilt (April 22-24), Florida (May 6-8) and LSU (May 13-15) will make trips to Rocky Top this year.
On the season, the Volunteers, led by Head Coach Dave Serrano and his staff, are scheduled to play 18 of their 56 regular season games against eight 2015 NCAA postseason participants, including College World Series squads Vanderbilt, LSU and Florida.
Just 20 Vols have worn the No. 2 for the Orange and White including current sophomore infielder and Virginia native Brett Langhorne.
Looking Ahead...
2015-Present | INF | 6-3 | 195 lbs. | Mechanicsville, Va. (Lee Davis HS)
Sophomore Brett Langhorne comes back to Knoxville after a successful summer season with the SLO Blues of the California Collegiate League. He finished the summer season with a .283 average, collecting 30 hits, 21 runs scored and nine RBI, after playing in 13 games as a true freshman with UT in 2015.
Prior to arriving on Rocky Top, Langhorne excelled as a four-year letterwinner at Lee Davis High School, leading the Confederates to an 18-2 record as a sophomore in 2013. Langhorne played travel ball with the Richmond Braves and was selected to participate in the East Coast Pro Showcase and South Atlantic Border Battle in 2013. The former shortstop was ranked the 50th-best shortstop in the nation entering his senior season as well as the No. 3 shortstop and the No. 12 prospect in the Commonwealth of Virginia for 2014 by Perfect Game.
