Tennessee sophomore Chris Newstrom has been hitting the ball well during the 2026 Amegy Bank College Baseball Series in Arlington, Texas.
In two games against UCLA and Arizona State, he had four hits and three RBIs. Three out of those four hits were a double, a triple, and a home run.
Newstrom now has seven total hits this season and four RBIs. It has been a decent-looking start to his second season with the Volunteers.
He has been one of Tennessee’s best-looking players in Arlington this weekend.
Newstrom and his Freshman Season with Tennessee
