What Georgia baseball coach Wes Johnson said about the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
On the goal being Omaha...
“Yeah, I don’t think it’s pressure, right? Pressure is just something you apply to yourself and it creates illusions. I think, you know, I think, yes, that’s one of our goals, right? Just like being a national seed was a goal. You want to have a chance to play at home. It doesn’t guarantee you’re going to get to Omaha. It doesn’t guarantee you’re going to win regionals and super regionals. It’s just something that lets you know that, yeah, we’re moving in the right direction. It still comes back to playing clean baseball. Not giving the other team freebies, not chasing, not doing things on the base path that give them free outs. So when you look at it, it’s like, yes, those are your goals, but then your practice and your preparation should, you know, lead to hopefully you achieving those goals, right? So at the end of the day, yes, but it’s still going to come down to us playing clean baseball.”
On situational hitting...
“Yeah, you know, no, I mean, I’d be lying to you, we put in a little extra time on bunting this week than we normally do. So, yeah, and then you put a little more emphasis on situational hitting. Hey, runner at third, less than two. Hey, we’ve got to move the baseball to the outfield or hit it to the middle of the field. We’ve done a little more of that than you normally do. But, yeah, no, I mean, our approach is still get in that box and get off your A swing and try to elevate the baseball and send it out.”
On the depth of the pitching staff...
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, I felt like last year we were probably relying on about five or six guys. Now, you know, I mean, you’ve got a 27-man roster. Every pitcher we’ll put on that roster can come into a game and you feel good about them, not only coming into a game, but coming into a game and giving you quality innings and quality pitches and has a chance to put zeros on them.”
