Carson Ballard is Georgia Tech’s steady, strike-throwing righty with real winning pitchability
In the 2025 season, Carson Ballard gave Georgia Tech a reliable mix of length and leverage out of the rotation and bullpen: 17 appearances, a 1-3 record, one save, a 5.70 ERA, and 38 strikeouts against just six walks. In 2026, he showed he can handle marquee moments too, including starts against Georgia and Boston College, and the No. 21 jersey nod signals trust, toughness, and program respect. He’s not just a stat line — he’s a calm, efficient competitor who fits a team that values command, durability, and strike-throwing poise.
