With a bevy of talent returning to the defending National Champions, it’s no surprise to see Florida atop the Perfect Game preseason baseball poll.

The Gators return each member of their weekend rotation with projected top picks Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar anchoring the pitching staff.

The Gators are joined by six other SEC teams in the top 25 and will face a total of six top 25 teams on their schedule.

Florida begins the season February 16 vs Siena at McKeathan Stadium.

Perfect Game is the second major publication to rank Florida number one in the preseason, joining Collegiate Baseball which released their rankings in December.
