Baseball: Liam Sullivan was selected by the Washington Nationals in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft

Sullivan, a 6-6, 225-pound left-hander from Sandy Springs, recorded a team-leading 14 starts with a 5-2 mark and a 5.77 ERA this past season. He worked 64 innings and tallied 75 strikeouts and 33 walks with one complete game for the Bulldogs.  

The two-time SEC Pitcher of the Week was named the Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week after posting a career-high 11 strikeouts over seven hitless innings against Princeton. Sullivan was also a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and participated in the 2023 MLB Draft Combine in Phoenix, Arizona. 

 

 

 

 

During his career, the management major amassed a 10-7 overall record with one save and a 4.95 ERA. He made 42 appearances for Georgia with 30 starts, 178 strikeouts and 73 walks over 151 innings. He is the first selection by the Nationals since 2013, when they drafted left-handed pitcher Patrick Boling in the 32nd round.
