A top-four player in the country resides in Knoxville. Entering her junior year, Karlyn Pickens already has the hardware to back it up. She has already earned SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC Pitcher of the Year and All-SEC First and Second team nods.

A year ago, Pickens posted an ERA of 1.12 with a 22-7 win-loss record. She appeared in 38 games with 27 starts. She notched one save in relief.

The next highest-ranked player for Tennessee comes in at No. 58. Taylor Pannell enters her redshirt sophomore year after missing the majority of her true freshman year due to injury.

The following campaign the outfielder hit at a .294 average in 53 games with 52 starts. She hit five doubles, a triple and eight home runs in this time. This resulted in 33 RBI and 23 runs.

Pannell also produced 56 put outs and nine assists with three errors. This was a .956 fielding percentage.

The final player is pitcher Sage Mardjetko. She enters her first year with the Vols after playing one year with South Carolina.

As a true freshman, Mardjetko made 34 appearances with 17 starts while tossing 118 innings. She threw for 119 strikeouts with three saves in this time.
