The Florida Gators remain a standard for the college baseball world. D1 Baseball has released its annual list of top-five college baseball programs, and the Gators were ranked third.
It’s been a ride for the program since head coach Kevin O’Sullivan took over in 2008. The Gators have reached the College World Series 9 times during O'Sullivan's tenure. They won the tournament in 2017 and finished as runner-ups in 2011 and 2023. The Gators have never missed, at minimum, regional tournament play. This excludes the 2020 season, which was cut short by the COVID-19 Pandemic. But nobody played in a tournament that year, to be fair.
Also since 2008, 13 Gators have been selected in the MLB Draft.
