• In addition to the new name, Georgia Tech is also opening the fruits of the Phase II renovation of Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium, a $10 million complex that includes climate-controlled batting cages, a state-of-the-art player development center and premium seating.
• In addition to the surplus of seasoned veterans, Georgia Tech boasts an incredible stable of talented youth, posting the No. 4 recruiting class in 2019 and the No. 8 class in 2020, according to Perfect Game.

• Drew Compton ranked 10th in the nation at first base entering 2021 after being rated the fifth-best freshman posi-tion freshman last season.
STRENGTH-OF-SCHEDULE• Since the beginning of the 2019 year, head coach Danny Hall has talked frequently about how the non-conference schedule needs to be a test and 2021 is no different.
• One year after having the toughest strength-of-schedule in the Atlantic Coast Conference two years in a row, Tech once again will play many of the top teams in the country.
• In the preseason polls, 10 opponents were ranked in the top 25, including No. 2 Louisville and No. 5 Virginia, who are two of the first three home ACC weekends to the season.
CARDIAC JACKETS• Georgia Tech baseball has been in for exciting baseball over the last three seasons, posting a 17-9 record in one-run games.
• Last season, Tech posted a dramatic 4-3 win on Feb. 18 at Georgia Southern and walked off Virginia Tech on Friday night in its lone ACC weekend to finish 2-2.
• Since 2002, Tech has posted a nearly 60-percent win percentage in one-run games (.583).
IT STARTS AT HOME...• “It Starts at Home” has been the offseason motto for Georgia Tech, putting an emphasis on getting victories at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium after going 26-11 in 2019.
• Since 1985, Tech has won a whopping .755 percent of its games at home (963-311-1).

• Currently through 25 home games in 2021, Tech is hitting .292.

• The Jackets and Tar Heels have played 142 times since the first meeting between the two teams in 1901.
• This season, Tech will play all 10 of its most commonly played opponents.

OFFENSE• Through 45 games, Georgia Tech baseball is continuing its annual tradition of being one of the top offensive teams in the country.
• Georgia Tech picked up where it left off the last two season, ranking second in the ACC and 53rd nationally with a .285 average.
• Tech is also hitting .299 at home this season (24 games).
• Four Yellow Jackets are hitting .300 or better - Kevin Parada (.327), Tres Gonzalez (.314), Justyn-Henry Malloy (.311), and Luke Waddell (.307).
• In the month of March, Georgia Tech hit .305, but went cold in April, hitting just .259 in 16 games. Tech is back to hitting .286 through nine games in May.
• Georgia Tech is second in the ACC in hitting (.285), first in hits (452) and doubles (102) and on-base percentage (.378) while ranking second in walks (207).
• Looking to continue the Jackets' offensive power will be the likes of Waddell, Reid, Compton, Hall and Parada.
• Preseason second-team all-American Waddell remains one of the top shortstops and table setters in America, earning shortstop of the year semifinalist status in 2019 and leading off Team USA vs. Japan in 2019.
• Compton remains one of the top underclassmen in the country. He finished second on the team with three home runs and 12 RBI, as well as four doubles and triples.
• Hall is a career .300 hitter who started off 2020 slow. With the season shortened, Hall got back to work and his slump ended when he hit .500 for the fall offseason.
• One of the deepest rosters in the country, also looking to make a dent at the plate will be Austin Wilhite, Stephen Reid, Jake Holland, Tres Gonzalez and Andrew Jenkins.
• In addition to the elder statesmen, an infusion of youth like Kevin Parada and Jake DeLeo from Georgia Tech's second-straight top-8 recruiting class proves to provide the Jackets plenty of options.
INFIELDERS• Georgia Tech baseball returns perhaps one of the country's elite middle infield combo in shortstop Luke Waddell and second baseman Austin Wilhite.
• Waddell moved to shortstop full-time during the 2019 season but instantly made his way toward becoming a nationally lauded defender, getting named a semifinalist for the Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year award.
• Waddell was named a second-team all-American by D1Baseball and named to the preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list during the 2021 preseason.
• Waddell has continued to play the part of table setter, hitting .310 with 58 hits, 10 doubles, six home runs and a triple to reach base at a .410 clip.
• Waddell had a streak of 91-straight games batting leadoff snapped on Sunday when he moved to 3 spot and Gonzalez led off.
• He had his team-best 26-game reached base streak (dating back to last season) snapped against Wake Forest (March 19-21).
• Waddell also showed off his new power at the plate with his first career grand slam on March 7 in a comeback bid vs. Pitt.
• Waddell broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh against NC State on Feb. 27 when he launched a three-run homer, his second of the year - the first of three-straight home runs.
• Waddell continues to be one of the toughest strikeouts in the nation, leading the ACC and is seventh nationally at 12.8 at-bats per strikeout.
• Waddell was the third-toughest to strikeout in the ACC in 2019 and sports a 10.9:1 at-bat-to-strikeout ratio over the last three seasons (2019-21).

• Part of Georgia Tech's second-straight top-8 recruiting class, Marquis Grissom, Jr. will also look to establish himself as the highly rated blue chip recruit he was out of high school.
• Grissom made his career debut on April 13, starting against Auburn. He needed just nine pitches to retire the side in his first inning before allowing three runs total.
• Grissom then pitched 2.0 sensational one-hit innings to slam the door on then-No. 12 Virginia Tech, striking out three for his first career save.
• Grissom had his best start of his young career against Miami (May 16) when he went 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 4 Ks.

• Two true freshmen who have worked to the top of the bullpen are LHP Josiah Siegel and RHP Dawson Brown.
