Andrew Duncan Commits to Tennessee Baseball, Adding Depth to Outfield

The transfer from Wright State brings a potent bat and speed as the Volunteers look to shore up their lineup for the upcoming season.

Andrew Duncan, a transfer outfielder from Wright State, announced his commitment to the University of Tennessee baseball program, bringing a proven bat and speed to the Volunteers' roster.

A Strategic Addition for the Volunteers

Duncan’s collegiate debut at Wright State showcased a .367/.436/.577 slash line, earning first‑team All‑Horizon League honors and tying him for the nation’s most triples with eight.

The move comes as Tennessee seeks to replenish its outfield, especially in center field, after a season that finished 38‑22 under first‑year coach Josh Elander.

Elander, who led the Volunteers to a 15‑15 record in SEC play and series victories over top‑10 opponents such as Mississippi State and Texas, highlighted the importance of adding experienced talent to sustain momentum.

Duncan, a draft‑eligible rising senior, also contributed 21 walks, 19 stolen bases and a disciplined approach at the plate, traits that fit the Volunteers’ aggressive base‑running philosophy.

The Volunteers’ season ended in the Chapel Hill Regional, marking their seventh straight postseason appearance, and the addition of Duncan is seen as a pivotal step toward deeper tournament runs.
