Georgia Tech’s run-scoring, power-hitting spark plug
In the 2026 season, Drew Burress was the engine of Georgia Tech’s lineup: he hit .363 with 13 homers, 54 RBIs, 75 runs, 41 walks, and a 1.360 OPS surge over the final stretch, while also handling center field well with four outfield assists.[1] He’s more than a stat line—he’s a captain, a top-of-the-order catalyst, and a player evaluators praised for solid-or-better tools across the board, enough to make him a top-10 MLB draft pick.[1][4] If a team wants a polished bat, legit power, and competitive juice, Burress is the kind of fit that raises the ceiling fast.[1][12]
