The Florida Gators will begin the 2018 baseball season as the unanimous No. 1team in the country but with plenty of new faces on the field. Florida returns a lot from their 2017 National Championship team, most notably pitchers Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar who are both projected as first round picks, but half of the roster (16 players) will be wearing orange and blue for the first time.
If Kevin O’Sullivan’s track record holds true (spoiler alert, it will) those newcomers will play a pivotal role this season. Just look at freshmen like Austin Langworthy and Tyler Dyson that were called upon all season in 2017.
