The stars next to the player’s class means those players didn’t lose a year of eligibility from last season’s shortened season to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those players that don’t have a star next to their class are either players that have graduated or incoming freshmen.
The 2021 Gators have signed nine freshmen and one JUCO transfer from the 2020 recruiting class that finished sixth best in the nation on D1 Baseball. Four out of nine first-year freshmen were ranked Perfect Game’s Top 100. including catcher Mac Guscette who was also a Perfect Game All-American.
The #1 Florida Gators will open the 2021 season against the #11 Miami Hurricanes at Florida Ballpark on Feb. 19.
