Baseball is finally back in Gainesville.
It’s been eight months since Florida fell to LSU in the final game of the season, finishing the 2023 campaign as College World Series runner-ups, but now the grass is cut, the field has been drug and Kevin O’Sullivan is ready to bring a second championship back to Hogtown.
Of course, a new year means new faces, and plenty of Florida’s stars from 2023 are no longer with the team. Familiar names such as Wyatt Langford, Josh Rivera and Brandon Sproat are now in the pros, and Florida needs to find appropriate replacements for them.
After fall and spring practices, the team looks ready to make another run. One freshman said, “We’re going to be better than most people think,” and that this is a consensus top-five team in the country.
Up first, the St. John’s Red Storm in a three-game series.
