A New Era Begins as Georgia Tech Names New Baseball Head Coach
A New Era Begins as Georgia Tech Names New Baseball Head Coach originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The future of Georgia Tech baseball just got a power boost. James Ramsey, long considered the architect behind Georgia Tech's high-powered offenses, has officially been named the 13th head coach in program history, and the buzz around The Flats is unmistakable. For Yellow Jackets fans, this moment is more than just a coaching change. It's the beginning of a new era fueled by firepower, recruiting dominance and a relentless drive to win. Advertisement Ramsey has been at the core of Georgia Tech's offensive explosion since joining the staff in 2019. Under his direction as hitting coach and later as associate head coach, the Jackets led the ACC in batting average (.308), OPS (.918), hits (3,961), and doubles (796) over a seven-season span. That level of production didn't go unnoticed. 'We are very excited to name James Ramsey the 13th head coach in the illustrious history of Georgia Tech baseball,' said interim athletic director Jon Palumbo. 'He is the absolute right person to continue to build on the legacy of success established by Danny Hall.' Hall's legacy casts a long shadow, as he stepped down in 2025 as the ninth-winningest coach in NCAA Division I history. But Ramsey isn't here to replicate the past. He's here to elevate it. Tech's 2025 season, Ramsey's final as associate head coach, saw the Jackets win their first ACC regular-season title in 14 years. The team led the nation in doubles (149) and ranked top five among Power Four programs in slugging percentage (.540) and runs per game (8.4). Advertisement But it's not just about stats. Ramsey's recruiting pedigree is elite. The Jackets' 2024 class ranked No. 2 nationally, Tech's highest ever. He's produced All-Americans, Golden Spikes Award semifinalists and back-to-back ACC Freshmen of the Year. Ramsey, a former first-round MLB Draft pick and Florida State All-American, brings both professional pedigree and academic excellence. His energy is contagious. His vision is clear. 'This is the opportunity of a lifetime,' Ramsey said. 'We have one of the richest traditions in all of college baseball and one of the brightest futures. I can't wait to get to work.' Georgia Tech fans, it's time to rally. Ramsey isn't just leading the next generation, he's building it.
