In this episode of the Preferred Walk-On Show, we sit down with Olivia Sayer from Dawgs247, breaking down the college baseball postseason, the Road to Omaha, the Georgia Bulldogs' impressive season, and predictions for this year's tournament.

We’re breaking down:

  • an SEC-heavy playoff field

  • Georgia's light-tower power lineup
  • Wes Johnson's success and a shift in Georgia's baseball culture
  • Tapping into the transfer portal and finding incredible success
  • Foley Field: the ultimate home field advantage
  • What has to go right for Georgia to make a run to Omaha
