Georgia baseball has been a solid program over the past couple of decades. The Bulldogs won the 1990 national championship and lost in the College World Series in 2008.

Georgia baseball’s last College World Series appearance was in 2008. Since then, Georgia has made the NCAA Tournament five times including most recently in 2022.

The Bulldogs face stout competition in the SEC and are expected to produce another MLB player very soon in start infielder/outfielder Charlie Condon. In fact, Condon is projected to be the No. 1 draft pick in the 2024 MLB draft.

Over the years, 50 former Georgia Bulldogs have made the MLB. Now, there are currently four Georgia Bulldogs in the MLB. Let’s take a look at photos and some quick stats on all four Georgia Bulldogs playing in the big leagues (as of 2024’s Opening Day).

The Georgia Bulldogs baseball team started the year 17-1 before the Kentucky Wildcats swept Georgia in its first SEC series of the season. Georgia is now 17-4. The Bulldogs allowed 37 runs in three games against the Wildcats.

First year Georgia head coach Wes Johnson was looking for the Bulldogs to get off to a better start in SEC play. Georgia was off to a great start in nonconference play, but now faces a very difficult schedule against a stacked SEC.

Georgia baseball’s next game is against Wofford at Foley Field in Athens, Georgia, at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 19. The Bulldogs also host Alabama in a three-game series over the weekend.

Georgia head coach Wes Johnson is off to a great start in his first season with the Bulldogs. Georgia will have plenty of opportunities to prove itself as the Dawgs open SEC play on March 15 at Kentucky.

The SEC has five of the 10 top teams in the country in LSU, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas A&M. The SEC is typically baseball’s toughest conference and that appears to be the case in 2024.

Georgia baseball’s Charlie Condon ranked No. 1 on MLB draft big board

UGA baseball star Charlie Condon ranked No. 1 on 2024 MLB draft big board

Georgia baseball star infielder/outfielder Charlie Condon looks like one of the best players in the country. In fact, Condon is projected as the No. 1 prospect in the 2024 MLB draft, per Keith Law of The Athletic. Law considers Condon to be a third base and outfield prospect.

“Condon made a small adjustment to his hand position from last summer and has exploded this spring,” wrote Keith Law.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound MLB draft prospect is hitting .531 with nine home runs, 14 walks, and has 17 RBIs through 13 games.

“He’s also playing at least a capable enough third base to separate himself from the first base-only types in the class, although he’s most likely to end up a plus defender in right or left. He had three homers in four swings against Michigan State,” continued Law.

Georgia baseball is off to a strong start to the year. Entering Friday’s game against Nothern Colorado, Georgia is 12-1. Condon and Georgia face a challenging SEC schedule filled with ranked opponents and other top MLB draft prospects.

“He’s got extremely strong hands, bat speed, and good feel for the zone. If he keeps this up against SEC pitching, including better velocity, he’ll end up the top guy in this jumbled class,” said Law.

The SEC has six of the 10 top teams in the country and is the deepest conference in college baseball. Charlie Condon and Georgia baseball still have a long way to go this season, but both are off to a fantastic start to the year.

Georgia baseball’s next games are against Northern Colorado at Foley Field in Athens, Georgia, at 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 9.
