Tennessee baseball and Tony Vitello have worked more magic in the transfer portal.

This time, it was landing a junior college hurler, Matt Barr.

The pitcher has played just one collegiate season, but is draft eligible. He is expected to be a high selection in the upcoming MLB draft and may not ever make it to campus.

Junior college players are eligible to enter the draft at any time and are not limited to the age rules that NCAA players are before being drafted.

"I am humbled and proud to announce my commitment to further my baseball career at the University of Tennessee," Barr wrote in his announcement on Instagram. "Thank you to my family for their support every step of the way. Thank you to my NCCC teammates and coaches for an unforgettable season and pushing me to this point. Thank you to the Tennessee coaching staff for this opportunity and #GBO."

According to PerfectGame's rankings, Barr is the top junior college prospect in the country. This was more recently updated in April.

Barr is out of Niagra Community College. This is the same school former Vols transfer commit Eric Rataczak was from. He ultimately was drafted and opted to begin his professional career instead of joining Tennessee, though.

Barr threw 57 innings at NCCC with a 10-0 record including 1.74 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. He struck out 94 batters.

This is now the third pitcher addition Tennessee has brought in since the season began. The Vols also hold commitments from juco pitcher Mason Estrada and UNC Asheville pitcher Clay Edmondson.

Tennessee is set to begin its NCAA Tournament run on Friday against Miami (OH). The No. 14 national seed Vols will host the regional in Knoxville with Wake Forest and Cincinnati also in attendance.

Tennessee is matched up with No. 3 national seed Arkansas for super regionals if the Vols can get to that point.
