Latest MLB Draft projection has three Tennessee Vols hearing their names called before the second round

Several Tennessee Vols should hear their names called in the 2024 MLB Draft, which begins on Sunday night in Fort Worth, Texas.  Perhaps as many as six Vols could hear their names called across the first three rounds.

However, according to MLB.com, three Vols could end up being selected before the second round gets underway. MLB.com writer Jim Callis recently put out a mock draft, and Christian Moore, Billy Amick, and Drew Beam were all picked the first round and supplemental picks.

Callis mocked Moore to the Boston Red Six with the 12th overall pick, which has been a popular projected landing spot for the talented Vols infielder .  Next up was Billy Amick at 21 to the Minnesota Twins.  As the 32nd ranked prospect, that's a pretty good ways up there from his projection, but Amick's power could make him enticing in that range.

After the first round concluded, Callis also predicted Beam coming off the board to the Pirates at overall pick #37 among the first-round supplemental picks.  Beam has all the tools to eventually become a steady MLB starting pitcher, and the Pirates certainly could look to continue to build a rotation behind All-Star rookie Paul Skenes.

Tony Vitello, who will be a part of the broadcast team on MLB Network for rounds 1 and 2, could end up seeing more Tennessee players come off the board the following round, as Blake Burke and Kavares Tears could be in play.  Dylan Dreiling also seems to be a candidate to go in the first three rounds.

The MLB Draft gets underway on Sunday evening at 7:00 pm ET.
