Georgia baseball star Charlie Condon has been named College Baseball's player of the year by Perfect Game.

The Georgia Bulldogs baseball team had their season come to a close this week as North Carolina State knocked them out of postseason player in game three of the super regional round. However, Georgia's season was nothing short of impressive and a big portion of that has to do with standout player Charlie Condon. Now just a few days into the offseason for Georgia, Condon has received a major award.

Perfect Game College Baseball announced that Condon had been awarded their Player of the Year accolade. This season, Condon broke the NCAA BBCOR home run record with 37 total on the season. He led the nation in both home runs and batting average. In Georgia's last game of the season, Condon went yard in his final at-bat as a Bulldog to add to the tally one last time.

Condon is expected to be one of the favorites to go first overall in this year's MLB draft. He played two seasons at Georgia after redshirting his freshman season in which he was listed as a walk-on. After earning a scholarship for his redshirt freshman season, Condon quickly shot up the ranks and pieced together an immaculate career. He finished his last two seasons with 62 home runs, 145 RBI and a .410 batting average.

The Georgia star is considered to be both one of the greatest stories the sport has ever seen and one of the greatest hitters ever. It's also likely this will not be the last national award that Condon receives following his historic 2024 season.
