Wes Johnson and his Georgia Baseball coaching staff have been busy in the transfer portal. From the moment it opened during the Bulldogs’ run to the Super Regionals, UGA was fielding calls and recruiting prospects. In the process, they’ve been able to land several talented players and potential stars for next season’s promising team. The portal is closed now – at least for the majority of folks – and while Georgia can continue to add commits from players that are already in, we figured what better time to take a look at some of those that have announced their decisions to join the Bulldogs nex...

Georgia Baseball coach Wes Johnson agreed to a contract extension last week, and it’s one that comes with increased compensation too. After starting off in Athens making $700,000 annually, Johnson’s pay is increased to $1,000,000 starting July 1, 2024 according to an open records request obtained by DawgsHQ. Based on a May report by Aria Gerson of The Tennessean, nine SEC head coaches made over $1 million this past season. Vanderbilt’s Tim Corbin (estimated $1.9 million with bonus and benefits from 2022 tax records) came in as the highest paid – which makes sense considering Vanderbilt’s statu...

Georgia’s Charlie Condon earned the first of what could be two prestigious awards for the top player in all of College Baseball.

He won SEC Player of the Year, becoming ju...

ATHENS, Ga. — It’s never fun to watch your opponent dogpile, especially on your home field. That’s how the 2024 season ended for the Georgia Bulldogs, falling 8-5 to NC State Monday night at Foley Field with a spot in the College World Series on the line. There’s more to the story though. The disappointment is real and understood. Any time you’re one game away from reaching Omaha the loss is going to sting. However, perspective is important in times like these. Georgia entered 2024 with a new head coach and 28 newcomers. Nobody knew what to expect of the Bulldogs, thus they were picked sixth i...

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia Baseball saw its season come to an end Monday night at Foley Field as the Bulldogs fell 8-5 to NC State in Game Three of the Athens Super Regional. It was winner-take-all in the Classic City, and the Wolfpack will head to the College World Series. Meanwhile for UGA, it’s a tough defeat in the program’s biggest game in over 15 seasons. After a pair of scoreless innings in the field, Tre Phelps got Georgia going at the plate with a two-run home run early in the second. The youngster, named a Freshman All-American earlier in the day by the National College Baseball Writers o...

ATHENS, Ga. — Everything’s on the line tonight as Georgia Baseball takes on NC State in a winner-take-all game three of the Athens Super Regional. Seven of the eight spots in the College World Series have been decided. As things stand, the SEC owns four while the ACC holds three. Will the Bulldogs help the conference break their own record by winning to send five teams to Omaha – and guaranteeing an SEC team makes the championship series – or will it be the Wolfpack that knot things up in the ACC-SEC battle for supremacy? We’ll see tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET. “It’s why everybody watches sports,” ...

ATHENS, Ga. — It’s been a tale of two games in the Athens Super Regional. Saturday couldn’t have gone much worse for Georgia Baseball, falling 18-1 to NC State to open action in the Classic City. Fans – many of whom tuned in for the first time all year – jumped to conclusions about the Bulldogs from one game with the Wolfpack, but if they tuned in again on Sunday, they might be ready to change their opinion. A switch flipped, and Georgia won 11-2. It was the same two teams but two polar opposite results setting up what should be an exciting finale in Athens. “For us, to bounce back was huge. J...
