Charlie Condon continues pursuit of more history with HR in 6th straight game
Charlie Condon is in the middle of a historic season for Georgia baseball. Already with a pair of records under his belt, Condon is now in hot pursuit of an NCAA record recently matched by Florida’s Jac Caglianone.
During Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt, Condon delivered his 32nd home run of the season with a line drive blast to right field. That adds to Condon’s single-season and career HR records he already holds with the Bulldogs.
The blast was projected at 373 feet to the opposite field and came off the bat with an exit velocity of 105 MPH.

That HR by Condon also gives Georgia’s superstar a HR in 6 straight games after also homering in Friday’s series opener against Vanderbilt. Condon’s Friday night HR came in his very first at-bat of the weekend.
In what is becoming a season of historic long balls in the SEC, Condon is quickly approaching an NCAA record that was recently matched by Florida’s Jac Caglianone. The powerful lefty of the Gators recently went on a streak of 9 straight games with a HR to match the NCAA record set by Nevada’s Tyler Bosetti in 2021.
Overall, Caglianone and Bosetti are part of an elite group of DI players to ever homer in at least 8 straight games. The only other members of that group are Georgia Tech’s Andy Bruce (1991) and Duke’s Ryan Jackson (1994).
Can Condon reel in another record in a record-breaking season? He’ll go for his 7th straight game with a HR in Sunday’s series finale.
So…I was thinking. If Condon does go first in the draft, that would be 118 years without a number 1 pick in any of the 3 major sports for that team south of Georgia’s border. Crazy yes?
Condon is absolutely killing it. I don’t know how he transitions from aluminum (or whatever exotic metals they make college bats these days) to wooden bats in the BIGs, but wow, this kid is something special.
Humper my friend ,
You are very obsessed with this #1 over all drafted player. Again no one at uf cares as I will be happy to see all uf has done across those 3 sports. Not sure why you are so adamant about this as being drafted #1 is a great accomplishment for sure, but again it wasn’t seems the only one obssswd with this is you.
Heck of a year from condon … sad he won’t be in college next year as he is fun to watch as cags!
Perhaps this will put it into perspective, my man…I have made a lot of money betting against sports people’s level of knowledge. Several benjamins alone have been made on people guessing how many number 1 draft picks UF has had in any of the 3 major sports. My friends are on to me. Now they know to guess ZERO even when we’ve had too much to drink, so I truly am hoping y’all get one so I can win some more money. Make sense now?
If you have made those Benjamin’s by asking the same question to the same people, you have some really idiotic friends.
Thanks….friend
Ahh .. got you sir! Just know that it really doesn’t matter to any gator fan on this but if you can win some bills best of luck!
Nobody at GA, except Humper, cares either.
And yet, here’s your comment…do try to not care harder
