Tennessee baseball fans react to pitcher Chase Burns being selected No. 2 overall

Former Tennessee baseball pitcher star Chase Burn s, who transferred to Wake Forest, was drafted second overall by the Cincinnati Reds during the 2024 MLB Draft on Sunday.

Burns went 10-1 with a 2.88 ERA in a career-high 100 innings pitched for the Demon Deacons in 2024.

Prior to his year at Wake Forest, Burns looked to be the next face of the Tennessee Volunteer bullpen after being a major part of the Vols 2023 run to the College World Series.

After being moved in the bullpen during the 2023 season Burns eventually entered the trasnfer portal, which left many Tennessee fans with a sour taste in their mouths.

Here's how some Tennessee fans are reacting to Burns being drafted second overall to Cincinnati:
