Georgia Tech announced this week that head baseball coach James Ramsey has signed a five‑year contract extension that will keep him at the helm through the 2031 season. The deal follows a breakout year in which Ramsey guided the Yellow Jackets to a 48‑9 record and secured the ACC regular‑season crown and tournament title.
Athletics director Ryan Alpert praised Ramsey’s impact, saying the coach’s leadership has transformed the program into one of the most exciting in the country and that the extension reflects the university’s commitment to maintaining a top‑tier baseball presence.
The offense that powered the record‑setting season features standout talents such as Drew Burress and Vahn Lackey, who have been highlighted as among the most potent hitters in recent college history. Additional contributors including Jarren Advincula, Ryan Zuckerman and veteran coach Butch Thompson have also played key roles in the team’s surge.
A Promising Future for Yellow Jackets Baseball
Next up, Georgia Tech will host a regional in the NCAA Tournament, opening play on Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET against UIC. The regional hosting marks a milestone for the program and underscores the momentum built under Ramsey’s guidance.
While several other programs have expressed interest in Ramsey, Georgia Tech officials emphasized that retaining the coach was a top priority, signaling a long‑term vision that aims to keep the Yellow Jackets competitive on the national stage.
The extended contract not only secures continuity for the current roster but also provides a stable foundation for recruiting and development initiatives that could sustain success for years to come.
