BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tennessee redshirt senior Redmond Walsh was named to the 2021 SEC Baseball Community Service Team on Wednesday, as announced by the league office.

The SEC names a community service team for each of its 21-league sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.

On top of being one of Tennessee’s most valuable relief pitchers this season and throughout his career, Redmond Walsh has also been one of the team’s most active players when it comes to community service despite having to balance a busy schedule as a member of the baseball team while majoring in aerospace engineering.

The Louisville, Tennessee, native has participated in numerous community service events and volunteered his time with multiple organizations around the area such as the Knoxville Challenger League, a local baseball league for young people with special needs. Walsh has also volunteered at the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and Tennessee’s annual VOLoween event, which serves as a night of Halloween fun for the children of athletic department staff to interact with UT student-athletes.

Walsh earned his bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering this May from the Tickle College of Engineering and has once again been one of Tennessee’s most valuable relief pitchers this season. He is tied for the team lead with five saves and ranked third in career saves at UT with 16. Walsh is 4-1 on the year and his 2.59 ERA this season ranks second on the team.
