Jackson Blakely is emerging as Georgia Tech’s surprise Sunday weapon
In the 2026 season, Jackson Blakely has already shown real upside for Georgia Tech: after recovering from Tommy John surgery, he delivered a 7.0-inning shutout against No. 14 NC State and followed it with a 5.1-inning scoreless outing at Cal, flashing poise, strike-throwing, and big-game calm. The appeal is pretty clear—he’s a right-hander who competes, can give you length, and appears to be trending up fast. If your team values command, toughness, and a starter who isn’t rattled by pressure, he’s a very intriguing fit.
