The Florida baseball program has accomplished almost everything under coach Kevin O’Sullivan.
They’ve won a national championship, five SEC Championships and two SEC Tournament Championships. They’ve had 25 players get selected within the first five rounds of the MLB Draft, and 23 of O’Sullivan’s former players have made it to the major leagues.
Now the program will get a chance to accomplish one of the only things left: an Olympic gold medal. Former catcher Mark Kolozsvary was named to the U.S roster that will play in Tokyo by USA Baseball on Friday.
This will be the first time baseball is contested in the Olympics since 2008.
