Georgia baseball picks up a utility player from transfer portal

As a Redbird, Mastros played in 102 combined games, spending most of his time in the outfield, but also found a decent enough role in the infield. This past season he hit .361 with 78 hits, 14 home runs and 48 RBI.

Throughout his three years of college baseball, Mastros has slashed a career .310/.391/.525, collecting 172 total hits with 38 doubles, six triples, 23 home runs, 99 RBI and stealing 38 bases.

In 2026, Mastros recorded multiple hits in 20 of his 53 games, including eight games with three or more base knocks. His strong efforts helped him earn a spot on the ABCA All-Region team.

After entering the portal back on June 1, Mastros emerged as one of the top portal candidates. According to 64Analytics, Mastros was ranked the 85th overall portal entry.

One of the reasons the 6-foot-3, 210-pound utility player chose Georgia was associate head coach Will Coggin and his ability to construct some of the best hitters in college baseball.

“The one thing, the main thing that stood out. You know they developed hitters like no other school in the country,” Mastros said via UGASports. “They were the No. 1 offense in the country for a reason. I really liked Coach Coggin there. He recruited me out of high school. OK, Kentucky, so the connection was there. They were on me throughout the whole portal process, so I felt really comfortable with him and decided to go there.

“He knows his stuff, man. At the end of the day, it’s just about taking the next step and, you know, taking that next jump and getting to the next level,” Mastros said of Coggin. “You look at what he’s done with guys; the numbers speak for themselves. What he did with Daniel Jackson, Rylan Lujo, all those guys … they come here and immediately get better. They learn to control the zone, and with all the resources they have at Georgia, that’s very easy.”
