Jacob Gill
Director of Baseball Operations

The NCAA Baseball Selection Committee announced the 64-team field for the Division I championships on Monday. More than 100 alumni of Georgia high schools, spread over 26 of the participating teams, will start their push today toward TD Ameritrade Park and the College World Series. A complete list of those players is below, along with links to follow their progress. In addition, games will be broadcast on Watch ESPN.

Three of four teams in the Athens, Greenville, Raleigh and Tallahassee regionals have at least one player with Georgia ties on the roster, while 14 of the 16 regionals have at least one Georgia high school product. Blessed Trinity Catholic, Collins Hill, Lambert and Oconee County lead with four alumni still ring chasin', while Marist and Starr's Mill have three each.

Many of these teams will continue their GA pipeline in future years. Check out our Commitments page to see where members of the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 classes are going.
