The Volunteers Bolster Their Bullpen With The Addition Of Kennesaw State Transfer Pitcher Bo Rhudy

Rhudy compiled a 2-0 record this past season with a 3.16 ERA across 37 innings on the mound. He struck out 44 batters and walked five in 21 appearances as a sophomore, with opponents hitting .212 against him. Seven of his 13 earned runs on the season came in two games against West Virginia and West Georgia.

Rhudy was named first-team All-Conference USA and finished with a 0.51 ERA in league games this season. 

During his freshman season, he made 19 appearances with two starts and compiled a 3-1 record. He had wins in three consecutive outings. In his first win, he had eight strikeouts, two hits, and zero earned runs. He earned All-Atlantic Sun first team, Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team, and Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team. 

He’s known for his fastball-slider, which he throws exceptionally well. It is one of his patented pitches that gives batters issues, and that he strikes out with ease. 

Rhudy feels a need and adds depth to a Tennessee bullpen that lost Nate Snead, AJ Russell, Tanner Franklin, and Brandon Arvidson. The Volunteers will look to continue to add to its team for the 2026 season.
