From the ATL to the Big Leagues: Hometown Heroes
Georgia boasts a long list of MLB players, both past and present. You've got legends like Mois�s Alou, a six-time All-Star who spent parts of his career with the Braves (bringing that championship energy home!), and Chipper Jones, a true Atlanta icon whose smooth swing sent shivers down pitchers' spines for years.
But Georgia's baseball scene isn't stuck in the past. Young stars like CJ Abrams (a speedy shortstop with a future brighter than a Waffle House light) and Austin Riley (a first baseman with a bat that could crack a pecan in half) are making waves and keeping the Georgia baseball legacy alive.
Baseball Bloodlines: It Runs in the Peach State
Did you know that baseball talent seems to be contagious in Georgia? Take the Beckham brothers, Tim and Drew. Both played in the majors, proving that backyard games can really pay off. There's also Cam Bedrosian, a fire-balling reliever, keeping the family tradition strong.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Fun Fact: Georgia can also claim Ty Cobb, one of baseball's greatest hitters ever, as an honorary Georgian. Though born in Alabama, he spent most of his life in the state, so we're counting him (don't tell Alabama!).

From high school powerhouses to top-notch college programs (hello, University of Georgia!), the state is constantly feeding prospects into the baseball machine.
