KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee head baseball coach Dave Serrano will serve as an in-studio guest analyst for ESPNU’s coverage of the first two days of the NCAA Tournament this Friday and Saturday.

One of only 11 coaches to lead two different programs to the College World Series, Serrano will travel to the ESPN studios in Charlotte, N.C., to provide insight and analysis alongside hosts Dari Nowkhah and Anish Shroff, as well as Mike Rooney and Jay Walker.

Having recently completed his first season at the helm of the Tennessee program after seven years as a head coach in California and currently preparing for his assignment as the manager of the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team this summer, Serrano will be able to offer unique insight into the college game and its intricacies from coast-to-coast.

A veteran of seven College World Series, Serrano has tutored over 160 players who have been drafted, 23 of which have reached the Major Leagues, and has coached in the postseason 16 times in his 18 years at the Division-I level.

This is great for the Tennessee baseball program. Next to Tennessee being in the tournament this is the best thing that can happen as for as national exposure for the program. Kids thinking about Tennessee will be able to pick up on some of his coaching philosophies and insights and that should help recruiting both now and in the future.

The baseball team will be back and it should be sooner than later.

Yes, more exposure for the rebuilding program. Plus Coach is a very good speaker and will do well.

Question for fellow BaseVOLS fans out there...why was Chris Fritts not invited back for next season?

He's weathered Hurricane Raleigh and done it with effort and class. Why do you not want an upper classman of his character on the team next season?

Clearly there's nobody just waiting to step in and take an OF job or they would have supplanted him last season.

Very sad. Hope Chris lands on his feet for his senior year.
