James Ramsey Sets Bold Omaha Vision at Georgia Tech

Standing inside Champions Hall at Russ Chandler Stadium, James Ramsey didn’t just accept Georgia Tech’s head coaching role, he owned it with the clarity and confidence of a man who’s been preparing his whole life.

With his wife Grace and children Brogan and Reese by his side, Ramsey took the podium Monday afternoon and laid out a bold, detailed roadmap for the future of Yellow Jackets baseball.

“Omaha can’t seem too distant for us,” Ramsey said, eyes locked on the crowd. “Winning a national title is attainable, but it’s going to take all of us.”

In just under 30 minutes, Ramsey made it clear this is not a rebuild. It’s a continuation, and an elevation of a legacy shaped by legends like Danny Hall and Mike Martin.

Ramsey’s message was steeped in family, both on and off the field. He credited his players, his mentors, and Hall, Georgia Tech’s longtime skipper for shaping his coaching DNA.

“Family matters to my family,” Ramsey said. “This journey isn’t just mine, it’s ours. My kids are learning the celebration dances. We’re all in.”

That sense of belonging extends to the locker room, where Ramsey emphasized player development, cultural stability, and a commitment to freshmen, Georgia Tech has led all Power-4 programs in freshman appearances over the past two seasons.

Ramsey made it clear that the Yellow Jackets will remain a high school recruiting-first program, using the transfer portal as a calculated supplement.

“We’ve done a fantastic job of identifying talent, even players who haven’t had previous success, and helping them thrive here.”

Ramsey’s approach is supported by data and fueled by character, development, and opportunity, not quick fixes.

When asked if Omaha is a real expectation for this team, Ramsey didn’t flinch.

“Absolutely. This year’s team beat two programs heading to Omaha, Duke and Louisville. They’ve won every trophy at the prep level. I’m comfortable putting that tag on them.”

It’s more than motivational. It’s a mindset. Georgia Tech fans, he insists, should expect postseason runs, not hope for them.

With revenue sharing and NIL reshaping the landscape, both Ramsey and interim athletic director Jon Palumbo assured fans that Georgia Tech is prepared.
