UF's baseball program continues to stay perfect after completing the sweep against Troy. It wasn’t the prettiest series for the Gators, but they did enough to earn victories in all three matchups vs. the Trojans.

The bullpen was top-notch all weekend, as the Gators only allowed one run in the series. Freshman Hunter Barco also continues to impress early in his collegiate career.

Even though Troy was swept, they gave Florida a run for their money and was up for the challenge against the No. 1 team in the country.

With that being said, below are three takeaways from the Gators' weekend sweep.

One of the biggest issues for the Gators in 2019 was their bullpen. They had a lot of young, inexperienced pitchers that had issues during SEC play. However, so far in 2020, the Gators' bullpen might be the most impressive piece of the program. They are very deep and are more experienced thanks to the lumps they took in 2019.

Nick Pogue and Ben Specht have been outstanding in the back end of Florida’s bullpen. Having those two trying to record the final six outs of the ballgame puts the Gators in a good position. Christian Scott was back from injury and looked as good as ever by pitching three scoreless innings.

Additional bullpen arms such as David Luethje, Brandon Sproat and Tyler Nesbitt had good outings when their numbers were called as well.

When the 2020 MLB Draft came around, nobody expected Hunter Barco to honor his commitment to Florida. He was a top-ranked high school prospect, as well as a potential first round pick. However, Barco didn’t get drafted until the 24th round by the New York Mets. He then decided to enroll at the University of Florida and skip out on professional baseball.

Since his arrival, Barco has impressed everybody he has came across and looks like a top prospect. Barco didn’t start the season as a part of the rotation, but quickly earned a role following his outing vs Miami.

Barco didn’t disappoint on Sunday as he kept Troy’s lethal offense in check for the majority of the game. The left-handed freshman threw five innings, allowing four hits, one run, one walk and striking out nine.

Going into the series, the Trojans had one of the top-ranked offenses in the country. Many believed those numbers were inflated due to the competition they were playing. However, they proved that not only are they a very good team. but they will likely compete for their conference championship. Troy’s offense is as good as advertised.

Their leadoff hitter, Rigsby Mosley, is a terrific table setter and gave the Florida pitching staff fits. Catcher Caleb Bartolero had a big weekend against the Gators and other hitters such as Easton Kirk, Dalton Sinquefield and Drew Frederic held their own against one of the top pitching staffs in the country.

The Trojans also have a pair of impressive arms in the starting rotation. Levi Thomas battled and pitched great against the Gators. He still hasn’t allowed an earned run in the first three starts of the season. Orlando Ortiz didn’t have the same type of success, but still threw well and put his team in position to upset the Gators.

Troy’s bullpen needs a lot of work as they produced poor results against Florida. The Gators scored the majority of their runs when the Trojans had to go to the bullpen. If their bullpen doesn’t blow two leads, the Trojans are being talked about as one of the top-25 teams in the country.
