Gator Baseball Announces Fall Practice Schedule
Tuesday, October 14, 2014 | Baseball
The University of Florida baseball team will open its fall practice sessions on Thursday, Oct. 16, at McKethan Stadium. The entire squad will have workouts, including scrimmages, between Oct. 16 and Nov. 23.
The team has been conducting individual workouts and conditioning drills since the beginning of the fall semester. Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan begins his eighth season at the helm and is joined by assistant coaches Craig Bell, Brad Weitzel and Lars Davis.
“We are all excited about getting on the field again,” O'Sullivan said. “The Fall will allow us to evaluate our players and determine roles for our team. We have a very good core of players returning a talented group of newcomers that should make the fall practice competitive.”
Practices during a typical week will be held starting on Tuesday at 3 p.m., Wednesday at 6 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 3 p.m., Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 12 p.m. The schedule can be subject to change depending on weather or other events held on campus and will be provided on GatorZone each week. UF will have practice this Thursday at 3 p.m., Friday at 10 a.m. (around Homecoming festivities), will be off Saturday and resume Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Gators will begin their 2015 campaign on February 13 against Rhode Island. UF's 56-game schedule features 35 games within the friendly confines of McKethan Stadium at Perry Field, where the squad is 198-63 (.759) during O'Sullivan's tenure. Florida went 40-23 last season and brought home its third Southeastern Conference title in the past five years on its way to becoming a national seed for NCAA play for the fifth time in six years. The incoming class has been ranked No. 3 by Collegiate Baseball, the program's sixth consecutive time in the top eight of the publication's list.
