Wright State outfielder Andrew Duncan committed to Tennessee baseball out of the transfer portal on Thursday afternoon, he announced on his Instagram.
Duncan spent his freshman season at Florida State where he played in just 13 games before transferring to Wright State for his sophomore season. The Dunedin, Florida native transferred to Tallahassee State College for his sophomore season before moving back up to the division one level at Wright State.
Duncan broke out in his junior season at Wright State, slashing .367/.436/.577 with six home runs, 11 doubles, eight triples and 36 RBIs. As the eight triples indicate, speed is a key part of Duncan’s game with the outfielder stealing 19 bases on just 22 attempts.
The 6-foot-1, 200 pound outfielder started in centerfield for Wright State last season. While he’s capable of playing other outfield spots, Duncan will likely fill that spot on the Vols’ roster for next season. Centerfield was a major point of emphasis for the Vols this offseason. Garrett Wright is likely headed to professional baseball while backups Jay Abernathy and Nate Eisfelder each entered the transfer portal.

As a rising senior, Duncan is eligible for this summer’s MLB Draft but does not appear to be a serious draft prospect.
Tennessee got an up close look at Duncan when they hosted Wright State in a three-game series last March. Duncan started in centerfield in games one and two, combining to hit 4-for-8.
Duncan is the seventh player to commit to Tennessee baseball out of the transfer portal this offseason joining Louisville RHP Parker Detmers, South Carolina left-handed pitcher Jake McCoy, Northwestern State left-handed pitcher Brody Trosclair, UC Irvine left-handed pitcher Ricky Ojeda, Mercer two-way Braydon Kersey and Air Force infielder Wyatt Hanoian.
