The 2025 MLB season commenced on March 18, 2025, featuring the Dodgers and Cubs in Tokyo. The remaining 28 teams started their seasons on March 27-28. Four former University of Tennessee players were included on opening day rosters: Jordan Beck, Garrett Crochet, Ben Joyce, and Seth Halvorsen. Crochet made a notable debut for the Red Sox, while Joyce contributed as a reliever for the Angels. Beck and Halvorsen also made significant impacts early in the season, showcasing their talents from their college days in the SEC.
Garrett Crochet, who started on opening day, pitched five innings, striking out four batters while giving up five hits and two earned runs, setting the tone for the Red Sox.
Jordan Beck's season began with a fielding error that let him reach base, but he quickly made up for it with one run, two stolen bases, and a single.
Ben Joyce had a productive opening week, making two appearances in relief and helping the Angels secure a series win against the White Sox.
Seth Halvorsen was effective as Colorado's closer, making a significant contribution during their victory against Tampa Bay.
