In the 16 seasons of the BBCOR era, the 2026 Yellow Jackets have produced the best batting average (.442) and OPS (1.249) ever recorded through the first three weekends of the season. They also hold the highest marks in hits (183), on-base percentage (.545) and runs scored (174) of any Power 4 team through three weekends in the BBCOR era.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA mandated teams to use the batted ball coefficient of restitution\u2014or BBCOR\u2014standard for bats in 2011. The new standard ensured that the trampoline effect of bats was strictly controlled to make bats more closely replicated the performance of a wood bat.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia Tech has scored 10 or more runs in 10 of its first 12 games for the first time in program history and their +123 run differential through 12 games is also a program record.
