Tony Vitello finished his first MLB season as the league leader in a category that won’t surprise Tennessee Vols fans

Former Tennessee Volunteers baseball coach Tony Vitello completed his first season as manager of the San Francisco Giants, leading Major League Baseball with seven ejections. Vitello's seventh ejection occurred during the final game of the season. The Giants concluded their campaign with a 65-97 record, which was the second-worst record in the National League.

Vitello made the transition directly from college baseball to an MLB managerial role without prior professional experience. Despite the difficult season marked by injuries and roster issues, observers noted that he grew more comfortable leading the dugout as the year progressed.
