Kristian Campbell taps his toe on the ground right before he swings his bat. It’s a subtle, quick tap, but it’s very hard to unsee it once you notice it. Campbell’s teammates at Georgia Tech caught onto his unique quirk. At some point, they started calling him “Toe Tap.”
Even associate head coach James Ramsey’s then 3-year-old son, Brogan, referred to his favorite player by that moniker. “I want to talk to ‘Toe Tap!” Brogan would implore his father during road trips. He wasn’t the only one. Everyone on the team loved Toe Tap.
