Kevin O’Sullivan’s recruiting strategy during his tenure at Florida has put a premium on pitching. The old adage in baseball is great pitching will beat great hitting. He got a great outing Sunday from sophomore Tyler Dyson but Miami starter Evan McKendry was even better.
Florida dropped the series finale in Miami, 2-0, and the sophomore right-hander from Miami was the reason for it.
“Credit McKendry. He was really good today,” O’Sullivan said. “He threw a lot of really quality off-speed pitches down and away and we quite didn’t make an adjustment. He threw the ball really well.
