Looking ahead to 2023, Florida returns a surplus of talent beginning with First Team All-American outfielder Wyatt Langford, who tied the program record with 26 home runs last season while batting .355/.447/.719. Also back in Orange & Blue is returning Friday night starter Brandon Sproat, who earned Southeast-ABCA All-Region honors after going 5-0 with a 1.59 ERA and .218 batting average against in his last six starts of the season.
 
Sproat projects to pair with All-American Southern Miss transfer hurler Hurston Waldrep in leading the UF pitching rotation. Freshman All-SEC performer Brandon Neely will provide depth as well, having contributed a 3.76 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 69 1/3 frames one year ago.
 
Sproat is just one member of a notable list of draft-eligible Gators returning to campus for the 2023 season. That group also features First Team All-SEC catcher BT Riopelle, as well as starting infielders Colby Halter and Josh Rivera.
 
Collectively, Florida returns 23 players including six positional starters from the 2022 campaign after going 42-24 (15-15 SEC) and hosting the program's 18th NCAA Regional. A talented group of 14 newcomers join that constituency, featuring nine freshmen and five transfers. According to D1Baseball, the Gators' freshman class was ranked No. 5 in the country while Florida's transfer class came in at No. 7.
 
Florida's 2023 season officially opens at home on Friday, Feb. 17 with the first of three games in a weekend series against Charleston Southern. Fans will have plenty of opportunities to cheer on the Gators at Condron Family Ballpark, as 20 of Florida's first-22 games take place at home.
