Following a season where Tech tragically fell to u[sic]GA in the Athens Regional, fans were excited about what could be in store this season. Sophomore outfielder Drew Burress returned to school looking to better his outstanding freshman year, and associate head coach James Ramsey recruited a strong class both through the portal and from high school. The offseason anticipation culminated in opening day on Feb. 14 against the Old Dominion University Monarchs from the Sun Belt Conference.
The Jackets began their season with sophomore right-handed pitcher Tate McKee on the bump. After a rough first season, pitching to an over seven earned run average (ERA), McKee looks to take a step forward with the help of pitching coach Matt Taylor.
