Georgia’s baseball squad made a splash at the 2026 College World Series in Omaha, where head coach Kirby Smart arrived to cheer them on. The visit came just after Smart secured a key recruiting flip from the University of Florida, a move that required a quick turnaround before he boarded a flight to Nebraska.
The Bulldogs’ first appearance in the Series since 2008 was highlighted by the presence of two former Oklahoma coaches, Bob Stoops and Barry Switzer, who joined the crowd of spectators and added a layer of historic significance to the event.

Smart praised his players’ tenacity, noting that their confidence and ability to bounce back have been evident throughout a demanding schedule. Georgia entered the tournament as the nation’s leader in home runs, having already smashed 174 this season, a statistic that underscores the team’s power and depth.
