Tennessee baseball lands Keelan Zumwalt, top-20 prospect in class of 2028

Tennessee baseball landed one of the top prospects in the class of 2028 when Keelan Zumwalt committed to the Vols on Sept. 25.

On September 25, the University of Tennessee's baseball program secured the commitment of Keelan Zumwalt, a highly touted prospect in the class of 2028. The outfielder and first baseman, hailing from Lee's Summit, Missouri, has been ranked by Perfect Game as the 17th overall player in his class and is considered the best first baseman and top overall player in his state.

Zumwalt made his decision known through an Instagram post, expressing gratitude to God and his family for their support. He shared his excitement about continuing both his academic and athletic journey at UT. Zumwalt had visited the Vols on September 19, during a football game against Kennesaw State, opting for the University of Tennessee over Georgia. This marked his third commitment to a SEC school during that weekend, following right-handed pitchers Mason Little and Trigg Listerman.

Joining Zumwalt in the 2028 recruiting class was catcher Logan Arnett, who had made his decision earlier. At 6-foot-5 and weighing 225 pounds, Zumwalt is listed as the No. 44 high school prospect for the 2028 MLB Draft by Baseball America.
