The Southeastern Conference announced its schedule for the 2021 baseball season on Tuesday, putting the final touches on what we all hope is a successful campaign on the diamond.
The official press release included the following.
The 2021 SEC baseball season is comprised of the traditional four weeks of non-conference play followed by 10 weeks of conference series. The NCAA permits teams to being play Feb. 19, and the first weekend of SEC series is March 19-21. The schedule is subject to change for television, including the move of some conference series to begin on Thursdays.
The SEC Tournament is scheduled for May 25-30 at the Hoover Met.
Nine SEC baseball teams were ranked in the D1Baseball Preseason Top-25 released Monday, including five in the top-10.
In response, the University of Florida has updated its website to reflect the newly-minted schedule. The Gators are a preseason consensus No. 1 selection among three major publications and look to begin defending their perch atop the standings against the Miami Hurricanes for a three-game set starting Feb. 19 at the brand new Florida Ballpark.
Florida’s first SEC series is a three-game set against the Texas A&M Aggies starting March 19, again at the nascent friendly confines of the new venue. Further details are still pending for all scheduled games.
