Chase Dollander is heading to Denver!
The former Vols ace has spent a few strong years with the Vols after transferring from Georgia Southern in 2022. He starred for the Vols in 2022, spearheading a program-high 57 wins. Entering 2023, many felt Dollander was a lock for a top 3 pick Sunday night.
But things change. Dollander still had a strong season in 2023, but it was a slight step back from his brilliant 2022 campaign. Still, Dollander reached his first CWS berth with the Vols this past season, with the Vols being one of the final 5 teams remaining in the country.
