Bulldogs Cole Wagner, Charlie Condon and Liam Sullivan have posted impressive seasons in various summer leagues that conclude this month.
On Monday, Wagner, a 6-1, 206-pound native of Lewisberry, Penn., was named the All-Valley League first baseman for the Charlottesville (Va.) Tom Sox. He had an MVP-caliber regular season, leading the team with a .368 batting average, a .588 slugging percentage and a .467 on-base percentage, all which ranked in the top five in team history. He reached base in all 36 games he played in, which set a team record. He had the same number of walks and strikeouts (22) while tallying 16 doubles, four home runs and 37 RBI. The All-Valley League teams were voted on by a poll of coaches and media members. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. Cole hit .276-6-21 in 43 games for the Bulldogs last year as a freshman.
In four playoff games last week, Wagner batted .412 (7-for-17) with four doubles and three RBI. The Tom Sox also features Bulldogs Garrett Spikes, Chandler Marsh, and Luke Wagner. The Tom Sox will play for the Valley League Championship later this week.
Condon, a 6-6, 208-pound native of Marietta, Ga., has garnered national attention for his play with the St. Cloud (Minn.) Rox of the Northwoods League (NWL). In 51 games, Condon is batting .269 with 14 doubles, seven home runs and 55 RBI. He ranks second in the NWL in RBI. He was named the Star of Stars at the NWL All-Star game, going 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and a walk. Condon, a first baseman/outfielder, was redshirted in 2022. The fall semester at the University of Georgia will be underway when the NWL playoffs begin.
Sullivan, a 6-6, 245-pound left-hander from Sandy Springs, Ga., has been a workhorse for the Harwich Mariners in the Cape Cod League (CCL). Sullivan ranks third in the league in strikeouts (45) and sixth in Earned Run Average (2.17). He has made eight appearances including five starts and pitched a team-high 29 innings. He is 2-1 with one save. Sullivan is Georgia’s top returning starting pitcher after going 4-3 with a 4.62 ERA in 12 starts last season as a sophomore. He tossed seven innings with eight strikeouts in an NCAA elimination game victory over Hofstra in his final start for the Bulldogs in 2022. This past Sunday with Harwich’s playoff hopes on the line, Sullivan delivered in the clutch again. He struck out seven over four innings in a 12-5 win. Harwich needs one more victory out the final two regular season games this week to secure a playoff spot.
Georgia had 19 players working on their craft around the country this summer.
Classes resume at UGA on Wednesday, Aug. 17. Fall practice will begin Sunday, Sept. 18.
