Ryland Zaborowski on historic pace for Georgia Baseball

Last year at this time, Ryland Zaborowski was having a pretty good year for the Miami of Ohio RedHawks baseball team. In 51 games, Zaborowski put up 45 RBI. This year, Zaborowski is a Georgia Bulldog and is rewriting the record books one swing at a time.

Through just 23 games this season, the Georgia Bulldogs’ first baseman has driven in a staggering 48 runs. That’s an average of 2.09 RBI per game—an unheard-of clip in college baseball. If he maintains this pace over Georgia’s remaining 30 games, Zaborowski would finish the regular season with an astonishing 110 RBI. That would obliterate the current single-season school record of 86, set by Rich Poythress in 2008.

But Zaborowski’s run production is only part of the story.

The slugger is not only leading the SEC in batting average at a blistering .467, but he also ranks seventh nationally in that category. Even more eye-popping is his 1.708 OPS, which leads all of Division I baseball. He’s doing it with a rare combination of power and consistency, punishing pitchers in every part of the strike zone and delivering in clutch moments time and time again.

Zaborowski’s breakout season has become the driving force behind Georgia’s explosive offense and growing momentum in SEC play. His numbers are not just great—they’re historic. With every RBI, hit, and extra-base knock, he moves closer to cementing his name among the greatest hitters in Bulldog history.

If he keeps this pace up, Zaborowski won’t just be chasing school records—he’ll be in the conversation for national awards and potentially one of the best offensive seasons in college baseball history. Charlie Condon had an all-time great season for Georgia in 2024 and won the Golden Spikes Award with a stat line of .433, 37 homers, 78 RBI, 84 runs, and 100 hits in 60 games. Zaborowski could surpass some of those totals from Condon before all is said and done.
