Jesse Lepore served as the University of Miami’s midweek starting pitcher last season.
Michael Mediavilla was the Saturday-night guy.
Both are preseason All-Americans, but each will begin the 2017 opening series against Rutgers pitching in a new spot.
Coach Jim Morris said Sunday that Mediavilla (11-2, 3.40 ERA in 2016), a left-handed junior from Hialeah, will now be the No. 3 pitcher for Sunday afternoon games.
Lepore (9-0, 2.20 in 2016), a right-handed junior from Beverly Hills, Florida, has earned the top spot to face the Scarlet Knights at 7 p.m. Friday.
The Saturday starter will be newcomer Jeb Bargfeldt, a junior-college transfer from Cisco College in Texas.
