The Florida Gators endured big growing pains on their way to making a long post-season run.
That is far too high of a number for a team that is trying to win it all. Furthermore, it is a huge difference from last year’s team who made it to the College World Series final.On their roster, the Gators had 12 freshmen, two sophomores, five juniors and no senior pitchers.Because of this, O’Sullivan had to put faith in guys who were seeing college-level hitters for the first time in their careers.
McNellie became the closer for a brief period to begin SEC play, Menendez was a lefty that the Gators went to when lefty batters were in the box, and Clemente became one of the first righties out of the bullpen in the postseason.
