As we discussed yesterday, the strength of the Florida Gators baseball team is largely concentrated in their pitching. With one of the top 1-2 pitching combinations in the nation in Alex Faedo and Brian Singer, Florida is well-equipped to handle a three game series where winning any two games clinches a spot in the College World Series.
While pitching is undoubtedly a strength, Florida’s bats have, at times, been stagnant through stretches although there have certainly been times where they have lit up the scoreboard.
This was perhaps best evidenced in a three-game series in mid-April against Vanderbilt where Florida took two of three games in Nashville, putting up 30 total runs, but also getting shut out in one of the three games (winning 20-8 in the finale certainly didn’t hurt their cause).
