Georgia Tech head baseball coach James Ramsey has earned a contract extension after a historic first season, signing a new five-year deal that keeps him with the program through 2031.

Ramsey, who grew up in metro Atlanta, led the Yellow Jackets to a 48-9 regular season record, the highest winning percentage (84.2%) in program history. The team captured the ACC regular season title and the program's first ACC Tournament championship since 2014.

"We are trying to be the type of program that makes Tech fans proud on and off the field, winning at a high level, together, with toughness and discipline, for many more years to come," Ramsey said.

Athletic Director Ryan Alpert praised the hire: "I feel that we have the best coach in all of college baseball in James Ramsey."

No. 2 national seed Georgia Tech hosts the Atlanta regional this weekend at Russ Chandler Stadium in Midtown, facing Illinois-Chicago in Friday's opener. Game times remain unchanged despite weather concerns affecting other regionals around the country.
