Tanner Kim

Another Farragut kid... that's incredible. Should be a major pipeline to Tennessee and we just got two from them. Kim doesn't seem to be heavily recruited, but I still like making inroads to that program.
Not heavily recruited and should be a pipeline for puke orange ...shouldn't that tell you something?
I am not sure about Kim in particular. What we do know is that the guy was going to be a junior this past season and he was, to my knowledge, Farragut's starting first baseman. His season was cut short. So, he very well could have shown out in this season, and next.
Also, remember, Farragut is an absolute powerhouse baseball program in Tennessee. They have been good for years. Their coach, who has been there since 2010, is rated a top 100 coach in America, across all sports, by MaxPreps and has 4 state titles, 9 overall as a program. Farragut has produced 4 professional baseball players in the last decade alone. That program is just outstanding. They also won state in 2019, and were likely poised to do it again in 2020 with Hagenow and Kim leading them.
In terms of Kim... Farragut's 2020 roster has just 1 sophomore on it. Just 1. So, they don't allow a whole lot of sophomores on their varsity team. I don't know if Kim was on there a year ago, but it is possible he wasn't. If that is the case, then there is even less actual film and knowledge of him due to him not having played varsity baseball, other than a few games to start 2020.
All in all, it is good to get into Farragut. In fact, this UK staff is recruiting Tennessee's back yard extremely well. Rhodes is from a bit further south in Soddy Daisy, but they grabbed him. They got Hagenow and Kim from Farragut and also Church from Maryville. They grabbed Tate from Christian Academy of Knoxville (CAK), but I think he is transferring. This is a good area to get into and make sure that we grab guys like this as there is some good talent there.
