Gator Baseball 2024 OFFICIAL ROSTER/Transfer Tracker/Lineup???

Almost hard to believe D1 still lists Coppola in their top 100 juniors. I really hope for everyone here he actually plays up to his ability this year.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. Cags was better in the fall but its a small sample size. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but I'm more confident in Jac going into this season. But that's the concern isn't it. Will he hold up for the season? That said I'm still not sure how the weekend rotation will end up, only know Sully has given the Friday nod to Jac coming out of the fall. Sully would be crazy not to.

 

It's finally here, the official 2024 Gator Baseball Roster! I've updated the original post as well. Enjoy looking it over for any interesting changes.

And this ought to get some of you talking. Here's Nick's writeup with his guesses on the weekend rotation.

Predicting Florida’s weekend rotation | GatorCountry.com

Predicting Florida’s Weekend Rotation
Friday: RHP Brandon Neely
Saturday: LHP Cade Fisher
Sunday: LHP Jac Caglianone

Plus Nick gave some insight on Coppola.

Redshirt Sophomore LHP Piece Coppola

The 6’8 southpaw hasn’t pitched for the Orange and Blue since making his one start for Florida on the first Sunday of the season back in 2022, battling several injuries that have sidelined him since. However, Coppola is easily one of the more talented pitchers Florida has on their roster. Prior to injury, Coppola’s name was on many future MLB draft boards. Coppola didn’t pitch in fall ball as he was going through a throwing program. If Coppola does return and is fully healthy, he is talented enough to crack Florida’s weekend rotation. However, this is a move that would likely happen closer to the end of the season as he’s still looking to get back on his feet after missing two years of baseball.

My comments....
I'm a bit surprised on his pick of Neely since he came in so many times as the closer in the fall. I get his plan to leave Cags as the Sunday guy because he is a two-way player. We will see but I suppose Sully could flip the same script and use Cags on the mound Friday, rest him as a DH on Saturday, and play him at first on Sunday. The pitchers on here should have a better say on that. I wish Nick could have given us some better inside info on Coppola if his throwing program is on schedule and what that schedule is. Feel free to chime in.....
