2017 State Draft Report: Georgia

CROP RATING
	Not up to par
Rating compares this year’s group to what a state typically produces, not to other states

Georgia’s baseball culture has led it to become one of the most productive states in the nation. The state pumps out first round picks every year, with the Atlanta area usually home to several. This year, most of the prep talent in Georgia is far from Atlanta, with top prospects coming from the southern and eastern parts of the state .

The college players in Georgia are way down. Neither Georgia Tech nor Georgia—the only power conference schools in the state—has a formidable draft prospect for 2017. In fact, the only college player from Georgia to make this year’s BA 500 was Kennesaw State ace Tony Dibrell.
