The Georgia Bulldogs Scouting Report: Via Ole Miss Athletics

"The Bulldogs enter this weekend's slate with a 32-10 overall record and a 10-5 SEC mark. Despite an expertise in pitching, Johnson's squad possess one of the best offenses in the country. The Bulldogs pace the SEC in hitting percentage (.324), hits (461), runs scored (402), and home runs (116). Georgia terrorizes opposing pitchers with a .628 slugging percentage, as it leads the nation in that and home run totals.

"A whopping seven Bulldogs are hitting north of .300 this season, led by junior outfielder Daniel Jackson. At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, Jackson has launched 20 balls past the fences this season so far. Forty-seven percent of his hits this season have gone for extra bases. Tre Phelps, Henry Allen, Michael O'Shaughnessy, Brennan Hudson and Kolby Branch each have at least 13 home runs this season.

"Georgia's projected starting rotation consists of junior right-handers Joey Volchko and Dylan Vigue on Friday and Sunday. The tandem have been dominant on the mound, each holding at least 50 strikeouts. Between the two of them, they've given up only three home runs on a combined 93.1 innings this season."
