MARKS: SEC CO-PITCHER OF THE WEEK
On Monday, Tennessee senior right-handed pitcher Bret Marks was named SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the league office. Marks (2-1) earned SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week honors for the first time of his career after dealing 8.0-plus innings of one-hit baseball in the Vols’ Friday night opener of SEC play visiting the No. 3-ranked Florida Gators. Marks carried a nohit performance into the ninth inning, as he established a career high in innings pitched. Marks is now the first Tennessee pitcher to receive SEC weekly honors since Zack Godley took home the accolades on April 15, 2013. Last week, Marks delivered another recordsetting start, striking out 12 batters in Tennessee’s 4-1 win over Grand Canyon University.

DAVE SERRANO HEAD COACH
SERRANO LEADS TEAM USA IN 2012
18
Fourth Season at Tennessee Overall Record: 374-231-1 (.617) Cerritos College, 1985 Trinity College & University, 2003
Entering his fourth season at the helm of the Tennessee Baseball Program, Head Coach Dave Serrano’s efforts to revitalize and return the Volunteers into a nationally elite competitor continue to hold strong. Along with renewing a sense of excitement and optimism among his players, staff and Volunteer Nation, Serrano has brought a winning atmosphere to Rocky Top and in 2014, he led Tennessee to its first SEC Tournament appearance since 2007 with a 31-23 record, the program’s best mark since 2010. Serrano’s energy and passion for the University of Tennessee, combined with his impeccable track record of success, made him the choice to become the 24th head coach of the Volunteer baseball program following a nationwide search after the 2010 campaign. A former UT assistant, he was officially welcomed back to the Big Orange family on June 15, 2011. Since his arrival, the baseball program has witnessed an improved emphasis on recruitment and development, with the head coach and his staff securing four consecutive Top-20 recruiting classes for Rocky Top since 2012. In four years, Serrano has brought Tennessee back into the ranks of a national Top-25 status and now looks to set his team’s sights on the postseason and beyond. The Orange and White’s first campaign under Serrano saw it record wins over half of the 2011 College World Series field, downing No. 16 Texas, No. 10 South Carolina, No. 4 Florida and Vanderbilt. The Vols roared out of the gates, winning their first seven games to get off to the then-second best start in school history. That 7-0 record also marked the best by any UT skipper to start his Tennessee managerial career, topping the previous record of 4-0 last attained over 100 years prior in 1911. Following his first season at Tennessee, Serrano was awarded the honor of serving as the head coach of the 2012 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. With the opportunity to coach elite college players from all parts of the country, he led the squad to a 12-5 record and a bronze medal win at Honkbal Week in the Netherlands. When Serrano returned for his second season on Rocky Top, the 2013 Volunteers featured one of the youngest teams in the nation with a NCAA-leading 18 true freshmen on the roster. Nevertheless, UT posted a series victory over No. 13 Kentucky and wins over No. 14 Arkansas and perennial power No. 20 Arizona State. In 2014, Serrano made Tennessee history and led the Vols to their best season start in program history, going 12-0 to start the year. The team stayed the course, jumping into Top 25 rankings for several weeks, to finish with a 31-23 record and make their first SEC Tournament appearance since 2007. A veteran of seven College World Series and one of just 12 coaches to lead two different programs to Omaha, Serrano entered his fourth season at Rocky Top with a career record of 366-223-1 (.621) in ten seasons as a Division I head coach. After leading UC Irvine to the 2007 CWS in his third year with the Anteaters, he moved on to Cal State Fullerton where he averaged 43.75 wins per season in his four seasons with the Titans, including an appearance in Omaha in 2009. Having returned to the site of his first Division I job, Serrano served two seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee from 1995-96, following seven years at Cerritos Junior College. His first taste of Omaha came as a Volunteer as he helped lead a Big Orange squad featuring all-time UT greats Todd Helton and R.A. Dickey to the College World Series for the first time in over four decades in 1995. During Serrano’s first stint in Knoxville, Tennessee posted an impressive 97- 36 (.729) record, including a school-record 54 wins in 1995. Serrano holds a bachelor’s degree from Trinity College and University (2003). He and his wife, Tracy, have three sons, Kyle, Zach and Parker.

Following his first season at Tennessee, Serrano was awarded the honor of serving as the head coach of the 2012 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team which he led to a 12-5 record and a bronze medal at Honkbal Week in the Netherlands. After opening its training with 10 days in North Carolina where it played a selection of collegiate summer teams and participated in the second annual Prospect Classic with the USA Baseball 18U squad, Serrano then led the Collegiate National Team into uncharted territory as it became the first U.S. squad to travel to Cuba to take on its national team in 16 years. Despite playing a veteran Cuban squad which featured 12 players who have competed in the World Baseball Classic and four who have done so twice, the Collegiate National Team proved its mettle by bookending the five-game series at Latin American Stadium in Havana with victories. That series would continue in the Netherlands where they split two more decisions as the U.S. went 5-2 during Honkbal Week to claim the bronze.

Notes on the Vols... SEC OPENERS FOR TENNESSEE
¢ With a win over the No. 3-ranked Florida Gators last Friday, March 13, the Volunteers are now 3042 all-time in SEC openers. This year also marked the sixth-straight season for Tennessee to begin Conference play on the road, while the Vols look to win their first league lidlifter since 2008. ¢ Tennessee improved to 3-3 all-time when opening their SEC seasons against the Florida Gators. ¢ Head Coach Dave Serrano recorded his first SEC opener win, having dropped each of his previous openers since his return to Tennessee in 2011.
VOLS ON THE HILL
Tennessee gives freshman lefthander Zach Warren (0-0) the starting nod against Austin Peay against a fellow lefty in Govs’ Zach Hall (1-2) on Tuesday. Tennessee’s pitching staff owns a collective 3.08 ERA, eighth-best in the league, while also ranking eighth with a .228 opposing batting average. Through 16 games in 2015, the Volunteers have used five different starting pitchers, including Warren. Warren also joins three true freshmen pitchers who have debuted for the Vols this year, joining lefty Zach Reid and righthander Jacob Westphal.
SEC CHART CLIMBING
¢ Outfielder Vincent Jackson continues to lead the Vols for the second-straight week with a .400 average, which ranks T-10th in the SEC. His .515 on-base percentage also stands as 8th among league leaders. ¢ Second baseman and Preseason All-SEC FirstTeam selection Nick Senzel has three triples over 11 games, tied for fourth-best in the league. ¢ Junior outfielder Christin Stewart currently leads the SEC in hit-by-pitch numbers with nine. ¢ Tennessee also has two players among SEC leaders for sacrifice bunts, with juniors A.J. Simcox and Jeff Moberg ranking tied for fourth with five sacrifice bunts on the year.
LAY IT DOWN AND MOVE
¢ Tennessee ranks second the SEC in sacrifice bunts with 25 on the season, just behind Mississippi State (26). The Vols’ small ball has also been put to work between the bases, as the squad ranks ninth in the league with 24 stolen bases. ¢ Despite only playing 16 games, Tennessee ranks fifth in the SEC with 35 stolen base attempts in 2015.
¢ Junior A.J. Simcox is tied for fourth place in the SEC in sac bunts (5) alongside fellow junior Vol Jeff Moberg. ¢ Entering the season, Simcox ranked second in UT history for career sacrifice bunts with 28. After the first week of non-conference competition, Simcox surpassed Zach Osborne (29) for first all-time in Tennessee history, now with 31 career sac bunts. ¢ Outfielder Vincent Jackson’s team-leading seven swiped bags are tied for 10th in the SEC.
STYLE MATTERS
¢ The Volunteers currently hold a 5-1 record in road games played while wearing the grey-on-grey uniforms with the ‘Tennessee’ script. ¢ With a win last Sunday (3/8) over Grand Canyon, Tennessee extended their current win streak to nine straight games when wearing the ‘VolStros’ orange striped uniforms.
EXTRA, EXTRA
¢ Despite having only played 16 games, Tennessee ranks T-6th in the league with six triples on the year. ¢ Three of UT’s six triples belong to Preseason All-American selection Nick Senzel. Additionally, Christin Stewart, Andrew Lee and Jeff Moberg have each hit triples this season. ¢ Last year, Christin Stewart led the entire SEC with six triples.
POSITION TRANSITIONS
The Volunteers’ pitching staff has witnessed a fluid shifting of roles in 2015, with several starters now serving in relief roles and vice versa. Junior lefty Drake Owenby has served as the Vols’ Saturday starter to start the 2015 season, while he led the team’s staff with five saves last season. Owenby has seven career saves for the Vols, which ranks T-9th for the most in school history. Fellow lefthander Andy Cox began this year as Tennessee’s go-to reliever, despite having led the Volunteers with 70 strikeouts as a member of the starting rotation in 2014. Cox is expected to work back into a starting role while recovering from an offseason setback. Second baseman Nick Senzel moves into his permenant home in the infield, having been UT’s primary designated hitter in 2014 as a true freshman. While working behind currently Detroit Tigers minor leaguer Will Maddox at second, Senzel managed a .315 average with 14 stolen bases and a .419 OBP, earning Freshman All-American and All-SEC honors. With the addition of freshman Brodie Leftridge, Tennessee has also experimented with outfield positional switches, putting Leftridge in center and junior Vincent Jackson in right field.
VOLUNTEER PRESEASON HONORS
Junior outfielder Christin Stewart garnered major national attention this offseason, collecting four Preseason All-American nominations (Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, Perfect Game, Baseball America and D1Baseball.com). In February, Stewart was also named to USA Baseball’s Preseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List, a list of the country’s Top 50 players as voted upon by USA Baseball, sponsored by Major League Baseball. Tennessee junior shortstop A.J. Simcox, junior outfielder Christin Stewart and freshman righthanded pitcher Kyle Serrano were recognized as Top 50 players in their classes by Perfect Game prior to the start of the season. The organization tabbed the highly-touted Serrano 10th on its list of sophomores. PG also tabbed the right-hander as the No. 16 draft prospect for the 2016 MLB Draft. Last season, Serrano also ranked as the No. 1 freshman in the SEC and the No. 4 freshman right-hander in the nation. The Southeastern Conference announced its 2015 Preseason All-SEC teams, chosen by the 14 head baseball coaches within the league. Outfielder Christin Stewart received First Team honors, while 2014 Freshman All-American and All-SEC player Nick Senzel was selected as a Second Team Preseason All-SEC player.
