Where does Nate Snead rank in top 150 prospects for 2025 MLB draft?
The 2025 SEC baseball regular season concluded May 17. Ahead of the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, MLB released its list of the top 150 prospects for the 2025 MLB draft. Advertisement Among the prospects, Tennessee right-handed pitcher Nate Snead ranks No. 113 overall. He ranks No. 27 among right-handed pitchers on the prospect list. "Snead owns one of the hottest fastballs in college baseball, usually dealing at 95-97 mph with the capability of reaching 101," Snead's scouting profile says. "His heater is more powerful than lively, featuring more sink than carry, so it can get whacked when he doesn't locate it well." Snead began his collegiate career at Wichita State in 2023 before transferring to Tennessee. He was a component in the Vols' bullpen during their 2024 national championship run in the College World Series. Snead pitched 75.1 innings in 29 games. He recorded 61 strikeouts, while allowing 71 hits, 28 runs and 26 walks. Snead has pitched 45.1 innings in 20 games, recording 36 strikeouts and allowing 50 hits, 30 runs and 15 walks in 2025.

Projections for three Tennessee baseball players in 2025 MLB draft first round
The 2025 MLB draft will take place July 13-14 at Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, Georgia. Liam Doyle, Gavin Kilen, Andrew Fischer, Dean Curley, Marcus Phillips, AJ Russell, Tanner Franklin and Nate Snead are former Vols expected to be drafted in 2025. Advertisement Eight former Vols were selected in the 2024 MLB draft: Christian Moore (Angels), Blake Burke (Milwaukee), Billy Amick (Minnesota), Dylan Dreiling (Texas), Drew Beam (Kansas City), Kavares Tears (San Diego), A.J. Causey (Kansas City) and Aaron Combs (White Sox). Jim Callis of released a mock draft for the first round. Below are 2025 MLB draft projections and excerpts for Tennessee players from Callis. Liam Doyle Tennessee's Liam Doyle (12) throws the ball during a NCAA Baseball Tournament Knoxville Regional game between Tennessee and Miami Ohio on May 30, 2025. Team: Toronto Pick: No. 8 "Though the Blue Jays have been linked with shortstops such as (Billy) Carlson and (JoJo) Parker, they now appear to be pursuing pitching and should be able to land one of the best college arms. Doyle's stock has taken a slight hit after he surrendered 17 runs and 22 hits in his last three starts against SEC opponents (Arkansas twice, Texas)." Gavin Kilen Tennessee infielder Gavin Kilen (6) throws the ball to first base during a NCAA regional baseball game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Cincinnati Bearcats at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn., on May 31, 2025. Team: Houston Advertisement Pick: No. 21 "The Astros have used their last four first-round choices on up-the-middle players with strong bats, and (Wehiwa) Aloy, (Jace) LaViolette and Kilen all fit that profile. If they choose a different route, (Xavier) Neyens is intriguing." Andrew Fischer Tennessee infielder Andrew Fischer (11) hits the ball during a NCAA regional baseball game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Cincinnati Bearcats at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn., on May 31, 2025. Team: Cleveland Pick: No. 27 "Barring someone surprising dropping in their lap, the Guardians may be mulling college bats such as Fischer and outfielders Ethan Conrad (Wake Forest), Devin Taylor (Indiana) and Cam Cannerella (Clemson). (Slater) De Brun fits their style too." Follow Vols Wire on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
