TOP STORYLINES

• Georgia Tech baseball returns to Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium this weekend for a four-game series against Marshall.
• The series begins a season-long 9-game homestand for the Jackets, featuring nine games in 12 days against Marshall (Feb. 21-24), West Georgia (Feb. 26), Western Michigan (Feb. 28-March 2) and Kennesaw St. (March 4).
• Tech is hoping to advance to 5-0 for the 3rd season in a row (14th time in Danny Hall era), 6-0 for the 3rd season in a row (10th time in Danny Hall era), 7-0 for the first time since 2023 (7th time in Danny Hall era) and would become 8-0 with a sweep – first time since 2023 (6th time in Danny Hall era).
• The Yellow Jackets return 15 players from last year’s roster including 5 starters from the Regional Final.
• Headlining the returners is 2024 National Freshman of the Year and No. 1 sophomore in college baseball (according to Perfect Game), Drew Burress. Burress has been dubbed a preseason 1st team all-American by multiple outlets for 2025 & is currently the NCAAs active leader in slugging percentage across all divisions (.807).
• Burress kicked off his sophomore encore with a walk-off grand slam last Saturday, his first walk off HR at GT. He followed that with a solo shot at Georgia Southern, a part of GT’s first back-to-back homers of the season after Kyle Lodise launched his first as a Jacket one at-bat prior.
• The Jackets feature 10 transfers and 15 freshman – the No. 2 ranked recruiting class in the nation according to Perfect Game – Tech’s highest ranked class since PG started ranking in 2011.
• The class features 3 players ranked in PG’s National top-100: Drew Rogers (Catcher – No. 23), Connor Shouse (RHP/INF – No. 83), Alex Hernandez (RHP/INF – No. 96). It also contains one draft pick – Cole Royer – drafted in the 20th round (601st overall) by the Yankees).
• Head Coach Danny Hall enters his 32nd season at GT and his 38th year as a college head coach. He currently has 1,415 career wins – the 11th most all-time and 2nd most among active NCAA head coaches after South Carolina hired Paul Mainieri (1,509) out of retirement this season.
• GT swept Old Dominion on Opening Weekend, the 4th straight opening weekend sweep. Followed by a midweek win at Georgia Southern to improve to 4-0 for the third year in a row and 14th time under Coach Hall.
• The pitching staff has been the highlight of the season, allowing only nine runs over the opening series, a 10-run improvement after averaging 19 runs allowed over the previous three opening series sweeps.
• The Jacket pitchers have struck out a total of 52 batters – the most Ks through 4 games this century.
• Tech’s 13.0 K/9 ranks 10th in the nation among teams with at least 30 innings pitched.
• GT’s bullpen has been nearly flawless, pitching 25.0 innings with a 1.44 ERA and 44 Ks to just 9 BBs
