Proving Many Wrong

Many UF fans agree they would have never seen Omaha in the future for the Gators after being unranked for most of the 2024 season. However, Florida proved everyone wrong. Following an outstanding game against Clemson in the Super Regional, the Gators inched their way into the top-8 teams to make it to Omaha. The Gators finished No. 3.

Florida lost two valuable players to the 2024 MLB draft: Jac Caglianone and Brandon Neely. Caglianone received many awards, including the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year award. He also set the Florida record for most home runs in a season.

Neely was one of the best closers for the Gators in the postseason.  

New Faces

The Gators have picked up three top 100 draft prospects, according to Baseball America: Blake Cyr, Bobby Boser and Billy Barlow. Cyr, ranked No. 10, is an outfielder transfer from the University of Miami. Boser is an infielder from USF and Barlow is a right-handed pitcher out of Clemson.
