Georgia Tech baseball player found dead

Georgia Tech pitcher Michael Hutts was found dead Friday afternoon inside his apartment near campus. He was 21 years old.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports no cause of death can be determined right now. An investigator says an autopsy is planned for Saturday.

Georgia Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich released this statement:

"The tragic news of Michael Hutts' sudden passing can not be justified in words. 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."

Hutts was a junior from Dunwoody, majoring in Georgia Tech's College of Management. He starred in baseball for Wesleyan High in Norcross. With the Yellow Jackets, Hutts this season played in 9 games.

Georgia Tech's game tonight against Miami has been postponed.
