- The Vols became the first No. 1 national seed to win the championship since 1999.
- Five Tennessee players hit at least 20 home runs each, a Division I first.
- Overflow crowds marked the season, with renovations planned to expand stadium capacity.
- Vitello's recruiting classes have consistently ranked in the top 15 nationally, including a No. 1 class in 2024.
