Clemson's O'Sullivan becomes baseball coach

Kevin O'Sullivan is the new Gators baseball coach. He spent nine seasons as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Clemson, where the Tigers have made nine consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and reached the College World Series three times. He is from Jupiter, Fla.

"This is an exciting day and signals a new chapter for Gator baseball," athletic director Jeremy Foley said. "What Kevin has accomplished as one of the top assistants in the nation with highly-respected recruiting skills and player development speaks for itself. He possesses the qualities in a head coach that we were looking for and is eager to hit the ground running. We are counting on Kevin to help return our program to the elite level of collegiate baseball."
