There have been plenty of changes after a disappointing season for Georgia Tech baseball.

Gone is pitching coaching Danny Borrell and the program brought in Matt Taylor from the Atlanta Braves organization to help try and fix an issue plaguing the Yellow Jackets for some time. Over the past couple of weeks, Georgia Tech has been adding talented players through the transfer portal in hopes of having a big bounce-back season in 2024.

Let's take a look at the new faces that will be at Georgia Tech this season.
