No Doubt About Doyle: Tennessee Ace Liam Doyle Named National Pitcher of the Year
There was never really any question — and now it’s official. Tennessee’s flamethrower Liam Doyle has been named the 2025 National Pitcher of the Year by the College Baseball Foundation, capping off a dominant season on the mound that left no doubt about who the nation’s top arm truly was.
Doyle’s rise this season has been nothing short of electric. With a fastball that sizzled in the upper 90s and off-speed pitches that consistently buckled knees, the left-hander anchored the Vols’ rotation and gave them a true ace every time he took the ball. He finished the season with a staggering ERA under 2.00, racked up over 130 strikeouts, and showed poise beyond his years in the biggest moments.
Whether it was locking down SEC powerhouses or silencing bats deep into the postseason, Doyle delivered time and time again. His consistency, dominance, and fierce competitiveness made him a nightmare for opposing hitters and a dream for Tennessee fans.
This honor is just the latest in a season full of accolades for Doyle, who has rapidly become a fan favorite and a symbol of Tennessee’s relentless baseball culture. The National Pitcher of the Year Award recognizes not just stats, but impact — and there’s no denying that Liam Doyle has been the heartbeat of this Vols squad from start to finish.
As he etches his name into Tennessee baseball history, one thing is clear: Liam Doyle didn’t just meet expectations — he shattered them.
The College Baseball Foundation got it right. Doyle is the dude.
