The MLB draft is unique. With 20 rounds, teams can practically select whoever they want. Eligible draft candidates include high school graduates, junior college players that completed at least one season and four-year college players that either finished their junior season or turned 21 years old.
With the wide array of options, college teams are often left in limbo until the draft is complete. Georgia baseball is no exception, as the Bulldogs have incoming freshman, transfer portal commits and current players with their eyes on the draft. Georgia also has a number of players out of eligibility as possibilities.
Below is a list of Bulldogs to hear their names called in the 2024 MLB Draft, which spans from Sunday to Tuesday. It will be updated as necessary.
Round 1, Pick No. 3: Charlie Condon (Colorado Rockies)
Condon made history as Georgia baseball’s highest draft pick when he was selected third overall Sunday night. He will join an organization that features former Bulldog Aaron Schunk.
Condon swept national honors in 2024 and became the first Bulldog to win the Golden Spikes Award. His 62 career home runs and 37 single season one’s each broke the Georgia records, while the latter set the new mark for homers in the BBCOR era of college baseball.
The SEC Player of the Year will likely thrive playing in Coors Field. The ballpark sits about 5,200 feet above sea level, allowing baseballs to travel further than most places. For a slugger like Condon, this should equate to continued offensive success.
