Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan's squad captured the 2010 Southeastern Conference title, its 11th league crown in school history, with a program-best 22-8 league mark and claimed nine of the 10 league series. In addition, the Gators won the SEC Eastern Division title for the second-straight year, their first time earning back-to-back divisional flags since the squad collected three in a row from 1996-98. UF then advanced to the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, Neb., for the first time in five years after sweeping the Regional and Super Regional rounds on its own turf and finished with an overall mark of 47-17.
The Gators' 56-game schedule for 2011 features 35 games within the friendly confines of McKethan Stadium at Perry Field, where the squad registered a program-best 33-3 (.917) record last season and is 90-19 (.826) during O'Sullivan's tenure. In addition to the three-game series against USF from Fri.-Sun., Feb. 18-20, Florida will also welcome traditional Sunshine State rivals Florida State (March 15), Miami (March 4-6), Bethune-Cookman (May 3), Jacksonville (May 17), North Florida (May 11) and UCF (April 5). Other national foes who will visit include Boston College (Feb. 24-25, 27), Georgia Southern (March 8), Rhode Island (March 11-13) and Winthrop (March 22-23). The five, three-game SEC home series pit the Gators against defending national champion South Carolina (March 25-27), Tennessee (April 1-3), Alabama (April 22-24), Ole Miss (April 29-May 1) and Kentucky (May 19-21).
Florida returns 22 letterwinners, including eight position starters and 11 pitchers, and boasts its third-straight top-six incoming recruiting class. The Gators return a solid nucleus that includes two-time, first-team All-SEC senior second baseman Josh Adams (Jacksonville, Fla.), 2010 second-team All-SEC first baseman Preston Tucker (Tampa, Fla.) and five sophomores who were Freshman All-Americans last season: shortstop Nolan Fontana (Winter Garden, Fla.), left-hander/designated hitter Brian Johnson (Cocoa Beach, Fla.), infielder Austin Maddox (Jacksonville, Fla.), right-hander Hudson Randall (Atlanta, Ga,) and catcher Mike Zunino (Cape Coral, Fla.).
