Rapsodo data on the big screen. I’m so glad GT baseball is becoming the technological innovator it deserves to be at a school like the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Not sure why they haven’t created a final ranking. Just a cursory look and I can see teams like UCLA Texas Arkansas and Florida all got hit pretty hard by the draft. Suffices to say this is a top ten recruiting class. It has created competition for starting positions and has really added significant roster depth.Just checked Perfect Game and they still have us at #16. No apparent update for the draft. We should move up to ~9-12 if/when they do. https://www.perfectgame.org/Rankings/Recruiting/Rankings.aspx
Regardless, we have a lot of talent coming in.
Last years final rankings indicated that teams did not receive points for players that actually signed MLB contracts post draft. If that’s the case, I believe we move up. Just listened to the BA podcast on the top 25 recruiting classes this year. They are particularly excited about Georgia Tech.They just updated the travel team rankings and haven't touched the class rankings in some time.
They'll get to the 20s, but agree, they should have done them already as there were no more 18U events after early August and given they're all in school now.....
Just did the 23s and finished their All American Classic and the Underclass All American last weekend as well.
21s won't get updated until after this weekend with a few weeks lag due to All American Classic (AAC) where Harry Ford is and continues to be ON FIRE!! He's having a helluva summer!
Talking to his Dad this summer, GT is and always has been his dream school. Christian and the guys really like him and we'd all absolutely love to see him make it to campus, but there are so many "Draft Crushes" on him, and he is DESTROYING the ball and showing Super High Catcher IQ, as they talked about yesterday during the AAC. Talk is he'll go quite early and if so, unfortunately for us, but great for him, I would think he'd go. He is a freaking BEAST and he's fast as hell. Ran a 6.4 60 at Nationals in June.

The only way we go up, is if they remove the draftees and/or our guys get bumped in rankings.
MG would have to break 50 (for 3 pts) and Brad would have to break 100 (for 2 pts) and Nate would have to break 150, John and Xander 300, etc to grab points here and there.

I guess they’ll do the rest of rankings tomorrow.
so nice I see the guys in action
20-11. Fair to say we’re in top 10
Tech is #15 in the 2021 BA pollThat list is how they’re ranking programs over the past 5 years, not a preseason 2021 poll. They’ve got Tech at #42, which is a little low imo, but it’s close to where I think the program has been recently. Definitely trending upwards though.
I’ve been almost completely out of the loop this time around. There won’t be any outside competition this fall, and it’s not quite time for the white/gold series. That usually happens closer to the end of October/early November. Other than that I’ve got no news, and no idea when I might be able to pick up some news.Anybody know a Fall Ball schedule... specifically, is there a team scrimmage? I assume nobody is competing with other teams this fall.
