**Tennessee’s Liam Doyle in Running for Golden Spikes Award**

**OMAHA, Neb. -** Tennessee Volunteers pitcher Liam Doyle is a finalist for the prestigious Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s top amateur baseball player. The award will be presented tonight, June 21, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. ET, just before the Men’s College World Series finals.

Doyle, a transfer from Ole Miss, had a standout season for the Vols, posting a 10-4 record with a 3.20 ERA. He led the country in strikeouts per nine innings and recorded 164 strikeouts in 95.2 innings pitched. Doyle was also part of two combined no-hitters for Tennessee.

If Doyle wins, he would be the first Tennessee player to ever receive the Golden Spikes Award. Previous Vols finalists include Luke Hochevar, Chris Burke, and Todd Helton. Doyle faces stiff competition from Arkansas’ Wehiwa Aloy and Florida State’s Alex Lodise.

Doyle took to social media after Tennessee’s season ended in the Super Regional round, expressing gratitude to the University of Tennessee. “Words can not describe how thankful i am for the University of Tennessee, changed me and my family’s life forever,” said Doyle. “I couldn’t be happier to call myself a VFL.”

The Golden Spikes Award winner will be revealed live on ESPN.
