About Luc Lipcius

Lipcius ended his UT career as the program’s home run king, launching his 40th career longball in his final game in a Volunteers uniform in 2022. In fact, the first baseman belted three home runs vs. Notre Dame in Super Regional play, battling teammate Evan Russell for the crown. Of note, VFL and likely future MLB Hall of Famer Todd Helton finished his Tennessee career with 38 home runs.

The first baseman was also known for having a good glove while his bat came around towards the end of his career. Lipcius played a key role in Tennessee’s program-record 57-win campaign in 2022 and was a fixture in the lineup for back-to-back Eastern Division titles, including a sweep of the Southeastern Conference titles last spring.

A multiple Academic All-District selection, SEC Academic Honor Roll selectee, Academic All-American member and 2022 Community Service Team member – the first baseman finished his Tennessee career batting .275 with 40 home runs, 123 RBI, 158 runs scored, 34 doubles and 27 stolen bases across six seasons on The Hill.
