Florida Gators baseball head coach Kevin O'Sullivan is altering the weekend pitching rotation ahead of their matchup against the University of Georgia. Sophomore right-hander Aidan King will take the Friday starting role, while junior right-hander Liam Peterson shifts to Saturday. This decision comes as both pitchers have had mixed performances this season. Peterson, once considered a top college prospect, has struggled to complete games, with issues in his outings leading to questions about his consistency. He started the season strong but faced challenges against Alabama and Arkansas. In contrast, King has shown impressive form, not allowing an earned run in his first five starts before facing some difficulties against Alabama and Arkansas, but rebounding well against Ole Miss. The rotation change was anticipated after O'Sullivan's comments following the team's recent loss. Both pitchers remain committed to supporting each other as they navigate their roles in the rotation.
