A Historic Season for Georgia Tech Baseball
Georgia Tech's baseball program reached a milestone this year, placing four of its standout players on the first‑team All‑American list, a feat that has never before occurred in the school's history.
Drew Burress anchored the achievement, becoming the only Yellow Jacket to earn first‑team honors in each of his four collegiate seasons and extending his career total to twelve selections, the most in program history.
Vahn Lackey contributed to the record‑setting offense, tallying his fifth first‑team nod and leading the nation's most potent BBCOR‑era lineup in runs, slugging percentage, on‑base percentage and walks.
Ryan Zuckerman secured his inaugural first‑team accolade, pacing the team with twenty‑four multi‑RBI games and setting new career highs in several statistical categories.
Jarren Advincula, the nation's most prolific hitter with 111 hits, posted a 57‑game hitting streak that ranks second all‑time for the Yellow Jackets.
The recognition reflects the combined influence of the university, the NCAA's governing bodies, and the extensive network of scouts and analysts who rely on platforms such as Perfect Game and NCBWA to evaluate talent.
Georgia Tech's athletic department, in partnership with organizations like the College Baseball Foundation and ABCA, continues to nurture players who go on to professional careers, echoing the legacies of alumni such as Jason Varitek and Brad Rigby.
