Tennessee Baseball players will start SEC play with fancy footwear, thanks to cleats gifted by Christian Moore, Blake Burke, Drew Beam, Billy Amick, Kavares Tears and Dylan Dreiling. 

The group of former Tennessee stars hooked the Vols up with customized Nike Air Jordan 1 cleats, featuring a Nike Swoosh outlined in orange against a the cream-colored shoe. A Power T logo is on the back of the cleat, along with the Air Jordan logo. 

Up Next: Tennessee vs. Florida

No. 1 Tennessee (17-0) starts conference play against No. 7 Florida (16-2) on Friday, with Game 1 of the weekend series scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time start on SEC Network+.

Saturday’s game is a 6 p.m. ET start on SEC Network and the series finale on Sunday will be a 1 p.m. ET start on SEC Network+.

Moore, after leading Tennessee to the program’s first national championship last season, was the No. 8 overall pick in the MLB Draft last June, selected by the Los Angeles Angels. Burke was also a first-round pick, taken at No. 34 overall by the Milwaukee Brewers. 

Amick and Dreiling were picked in the second round, with Amick going to the Minnesota Twins at No. 60 overall and Dreiling following at No. 65 to the Texas Rangers. Beam was a third-round pick of the Kansas City Royals, taken at No. 74 overall. 

Tears was picked in the fourth round at No. 134 overall by the San Diego Padres. 

Moore, who signed his first professional contract for $4,997,500, was the highest draft pick for a Tennessee player since Nick Senzel went No. 2 overall in 2016. 

Christian Moore ‘the talk of camp for the Los Angeles Angels’

Moore hit a program-record 34 home runs and had 74 RBI while winning the triple crown in SEC play and has quickly made an impression in professional baseball. 

“Christian Moore, in some ways, is the talk of camp for the Los Angeles Angels,” MLB Network’s Jon Morosi said in February. “Really impressing manager Ron Washington. There is some conversation that he is going to get a look at third base in addition to second base.”

Burke was named a First Team All-American after he hit 20 home runs and drove in 61 runs while hitting .379. Amick hit 23 home runs, drove in 65 runs and hit .306 after transferring from Clemson. 

Dreiling was named the College World Series Most Outstanding Player after hitting a home run in each of Tennessee’s three games in the championship series against Texas A&M.

Beam went 26-8 over 51 starts (52 appearances) with a career ERA of 3.60 over the last three seasons and Tears had a breakout junior season, batting .324 with 20 home runs and 62 RBI while walking 45 times and scoring 73 runs.
