"The tragic news of Michael Hutts' sudden passing can not be justified in words," said Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich in a statement posted on the team's web site. "Michael was an outstanding student-athlete, but more importantly an outstanding young man who had a deep impact on his teammates, coaches, classmates and the entire community. Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to his parents, Mark and Vicky Hutts, and the entire Hutts family. Head baseball coach Danny Hall and his staff will work closely with our players during this very difficult time. It is important that we offer these young men all the support that they need. "

Hutts, a left handed pitcher from Dunwoody, was a dean's list student majoring in management. He was considered the top long relief pitcher for the Yellow Jackets. He graduated from the Wesleyan School in Norcross in 2005 where he holds the school records for career wins and strikeouts. He also lettered in basketball and cross country.
