Cal Poly Baseball will open its 2027 season on the road against Georgia Tech, testing the team after a successful 2026 run and the loss of multiple key players to the MLB draft and graduation this offseason.
While Cal Poly’s official schedule has yet to be announced, Georgia Tech has released theirs, which includes a highly anticipated opening series between two top programs.
The Mustangs enter this year with high expectations after a historic 2026 season.
In the Big West, Cal Poly won the conference regular-season title for the first time since 2014 and the tournament title for the second straight year.
Cal Poly made its first trip to an NCAA Division I Super Regional in program history and finished just two victories shy of making its first appearance in the NCAA Division I Men’s College World Series.
After the highly successful season, Cal Poly lost seven players to the 2026 MLB draft, the most since 2008. This included Ryan Tayman, Nick Bonn and Alejandro Garza, who all had record-breaking seasons last year, helping the team reach its best finish yet.
Georgia Tech enters the season on a similar note after an incredible 2026 season of their own.
The Yellow Jackets finished last season with a 50-11 overall record and a 26-5 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). After a superb regular season that led to Georgia Tech capturing the second overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, the team eventually bowed out in the Atlanta Regional after losing to the eventual champions, the Oklahoma Sooners.
While a lack of continuity may be a hurdle to overcome this year for Cal Poly, Head Coach Larry Lee has helped this team win a lot during his long tenure. An opening series against another top program in the country will help Cal Poly fans get a better understanding of this year’s outlook.
