Tennessee pitcher Chase Dollander selected ninth overall by the Colorado Rockies in the MLB Draft.
Dollander is the first top 10 pick out of UT since Nick Senzel was taken second overall in the first round by the Cincinnati Reds in 2016.
Rockies took Jordan Beck last season.

Chase Dollander was selected No. 9 overall by the Colorado Rockies. That’s the highest a Vol has been selected since Nick Senzel was taken No. 2 overall in 2016. #Vols https://t.co/TbzhPFFhjx

Immediate thoughts from call w/ #Rockies FO-Bill Schmidt (GM), Marc Gustafson (Sr Dir. Scouting OPs)& Danny Montgomery (VP&Asst GM-Scouting) on Day 1 of #MLBDraft:
Chase Dollander (9th): Feel they can get slider back & diff. between ‘22 & ‘23 were due to unnecessary adjustments.

The #Rockies just selected Chase Dollander out of the University of Tennessee with the 9th overall pick in the #MLBDraft. Colorado needs arms and he’s a solid college arm!
