The power surge in the 2024 College Baseball season has been hotter than ever with Georgia's Charlie Condon hitting his 33rd home run in the season finale against Vanderbilt on Sunday. He tied Jac Caglianone for the single-season record in the bat-ball coefficient of restitution, or the BBCOR era.
Condon has six regular-season games left (plus the SEC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament) to surpass Caglianone's record and become college baseball's new HR king. The 21-year-old is the runaway leader, with the next-best home run hitters in a three-way tie for second place at 26.
