TOP STORYLINES

• Georgia Tech baseball returns for its 130th season in 2025 after reaching the final game of the 2024 Athens Regional last season.
• The Yellow Jackets return 15 players from last year’s roster including five starters from the Regional Final Lineup.
• Headlining the returners is 2024 National Freshman of the Year and No. 1 sophomore in college baseball (according to Perfect Game), Drew Burress. Burress returns after leading Georgia Tech in a myriad of categories, including average (.381), home runs (25) and RBI (67), becoming the 12th Yellow Jacket to win Tech’s triple crown.
• He has been dubbed a preseason 1st team all-American by multiple outlets for 2025 & is currently the NCAAs active leader in slugging percentage after posting an .821 slug in 2024.
• The Jackets feature 29 newcomers, 10 transfers and 19 freshman who comprise the No. 2 ranked recruiting class in the nation according to Perfect Game – Tech’s highest ranked class since PG started ranking classes in 2011.
• The class features three players ranked in PG’s National top-100: Drew Rogers (Catcher – No. 23), Connor Shouse (RHP/INF – Perry, Ga. – No. 83), Alex Hernandez (RHP/INF – Cumming, Ga. – No. 96). It also contains one draft pick in the 2024 MLB draft who chose to come to GT (Cole Royer – drafted in the 20th round (601st overall) by the New York Yankees).
• Tech has now signed top-5 classes in four of the last six years, top-10 classes in five of the last six years, and six-straight top-20 Perfect Game recruiting classes, leading the Atlantic Coast Conference in all categories.
• Head Coach Danny Hall enters his 32nd season at Georgia Tech and his 37th year as a college baseball head coach. He currently has 1,411 career wins – the 11th most all-time and 2nd most among active NCAA head coaches after South Carolina hired Paul Mainieri (1,505) this season.
• Coach Hall is 16 wins shy of Cliff Gustafson (1,427 at Texas 1967-1996) and 33 away from tying Chuck Hartman (1,444 at High Point/Virginia Tech 1959-2006).
• When Coach Hall passes Gustafson, 17 wins from now, Georgia Tech will replace Texas as the only program in Division I with two coaches in the all-time top-10 for career victories – Jim Morris coached at GT from 1982-93 and is 5^th all-time with 1,594 career wins.

Full Steam Ahead

Full Steam Ahead is a $500 million fundraising initiative to achieve Georgia Tech athletics’ goal of competing for championships at the highest level in the next era of intercollegiate athletics. The initiative will fund transformative projects for Tech athletics, including renovations of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field (the historic home of Georgia Tech football), the Zelnak Basketball Center (the practice and training facility for Tech basketball) and O’Keefe Gymnasium (the venerable home of Yellow Jackets volleyball), as well as additional projects and initiatives to further advance Georgia Tech athletics through program wide-operational support. All members of the Georgia Tech community are invited to visit atfund.org/FullSteamAhead for full details and renderings of the renovation projects, as well as to learn about opportunities to contribute online.
