Tennessee Vols true freshman shortstop Ariel Antigua made his first career start for UT on Tuesday night and he immediately went viral. 

Antigua made a slick play to his left on what should've been a hit up the middle, showing off his impressive range and strong arm. 

Antigua saw plenty of action in the field in his first career start, recording nine assists in the win against Tennessee Tech (which tied a program record). 

Antigua went 0-for-3 at the plate on Tuesday night. But the rest of the Vols picked him up, collecting 14 hits in an 11-1 route against the Golden Eagles.
