Tennessee baseball earns commitment from Kruz Schoolcraft, No. 8 overall player in 2025 class
Tony Vitello, Josh Elander and the Tennessee baseball team continue to recruit at an elite level as another top-10 prospect joined the 2025 class on Friday. Kruz Schoolcraft joins the class as he is rated as the No. 8 overall player and No. 1 left-handed pitcher, according to Perfect Game.
The southpaw was on campus for an official visit the weekend of the Third Saturday in October when the Vols’ football team defeated Alabama. He’s projected to be a top-10 player in the 2025 MLB Draft and chose Tennessee over the likes of Texas A&M, Florida, Oregon State, Oregon and many more. Schoolcraft is a huge draft risk.

Tennessee is currently ranked third in the county in 2025, behind LSU and Texas, with 24 total commits and six in the top-100. It’s worth noting that the Perfect Games team rankings have not been updated since the recent commitment.
Schoolcraft joins fellow top-10 Tennessee commit Billy Carlson in the class. Here’s some more information on the new Tennessee baseball commitment. To get things started, he can hit 97 miles per hour form the left side and displays serious power potential in the box.
