Georgia baseball’s Charlie Condon named as SEC player of the year

Charlie Condon leads the nation in home runs and batting average, so its not surprise he won the SEC player of the year award

Georgia Bulldogs baseball star Charlie Condon has been named as the SEC player of the year. Condon also made the All-SEC team at third base.

Condon leads the nation in batting average at .433. The lengthy hitter has the most home runs (35) of any player in the country. Condon has a team-high 75 RBIs and has drawn 60 walks this season.

Condon’s elite season is a big reason why Georgia is ranked as the No. 9 team in the country. Georgia is 39-15 and is awaiting its SEC fate. The Bulldogs are eliminated from the SEC baseball tournament after losing to LSU. Georgia has a chance to host a super regional, but the Dawgs have lost three straight games, which hurts Georgia’s hopes of hosting a super regional (top eight seed). Georgia will almost certainly host a regional.

The SEC also honored two other Bulldogs. Tre Phelps made the freshman All-SEC team and catcher Fernando Gonzalez made the SEC All-Defensive team.

Georgia drops one spot in USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll

Georgia falls in the latest USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll after losing final SEC series to Florida

The Georgia Bulldogs slid one spot in the baseball rankings after losing a three-game series to Florida. Georgia is the No. 9 team in the May 20 edition of the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll.

Georgia finishes the regular season 17-13 in conference play and 39-14 overall. Georgia needs to beat LSU and maybe win more games in the SEC baseball tournament in order to host a super regional.

The SEC has the top four teams in the country in Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas A&M. The SEC is baseball’s best conference. Tennessee remains the nation’s No. 1 team.

Georgia baseball’s next game is on May 21 at 10:30 a.m. ET against LSU in the SEC baseball tournament. The winner of the Georgia-LSU game will face No. 2 Kentucky. The loser will be eliminated from the SEC tournament.

Georgia baseball projected to host super regional

Georgia baseball won eight straight games and would be seeded highly enough to host a super regional ahead of the Florida series

The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to be the nation’s No. 7 national seed in the NCAA baseball tournament, per D1Baseball. Georgia is projected to host NC State, UCF and Austin Peay in the Athens Regional.

Georgia has won eight straight games and is one of the hottest teams in the country. The Bulldogs have accumulated 10 or more runs in six straight games. Georgia swept South Carolina and Vanderbilt in consecutive SEC series.

Georgia was ranked eighth in the latest edition of the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll, so it would not be shocking for the Bulldogs to end up as the No. 7 national seed.

In this scenario, if Georgia won the Athens Regional, it would host a super regional. The Oklahoma Sooners, who are the No. 10 national seed, would project to face Georgia.

Georgia baseball star Charlie Condon is the top player in the country. Condon is having an historic season with 34 home runs and 72 RBIs. The redshirt sophomore is hitting .454, which is No. 1 in the nation.

This season, Georgia is 16-11 in the stacked SEC and 38-12 overall. Georgia is an incredible 28-3 at home, so if the Bulldogs can earn an opportunity to host a super regional, then Georgia will be tough to beat.

D1Baseball projects the SEC will have five top-eight national seeds. D1Baseball has the SEC’s Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas A&M as the top four national seeds.

Georgia’s final series of the regular season is against Florida at Foley Field in Athens, Georgia. The Bulldogs host the Gators for a three-game series that begins on Thursday, May 16 at 6 p.m. ET.

ESPN ranks Charlie Condon as No. 1 MLB draft prospect

ESPN projects that UGA baseball’s Charlie Condon will not go No. 1 despite ranking him as the 2024 MLB draft’s best prospect

Georgia baseball star infielder/outfielder Charlie Condon is having a historic season. In fact, ESPN ranks Condon as the No. 1 prospect in the 2024 MLB draft.

However, ESPN does not think that Condon will be the first player drafted. Instead, ESPN projects that Condon will go No. 2 to the Cincinnati Reds.

“I’m hearing (Travis) Bazzana and Jac Caglianone are the leading options here (for the Cleveland Guardians), more than Charlie Condon, but due to team preference, not early price shopping,” writes Kiley McDaniel (subscription required).

Charlie Condon is both Georgia’s single-season and all-time home run leader. The 6-foot-6, 215-pound MLB draft prospect is the best power hitter in Georgia baseball history while hitting a remarkable .459 (best in the country) with 33 home runs, 41 walks, and17 RBIs through 69 games.

No. 12 Georgia baseball is hoping to host a regional this year. Condon and Georgia have faced a challenging SEC schedule filled with ranked opponents and other elite MLB draft prospects.

“Condon has a slight edge as the consensus best player in the draft class with vibes similar to Kris Bryant or Alec Bohm as a tall, right-handed hitting third baseman (or maybe outfielder, depending on how things break) with big raw power,” writes McDaniel. McDaniel ranks Condon as the top prospect in the draft and the No. 25 prospect in baseball, which includes all of the minor leagues.
