The Florida Gators have been well represented in the MLB Draft with a second pitcher being drafted on Day 2.
He’s the fourth overall Gator-related player after shortstop commitIn an inconsistent 2024 campaign for the Gators’ pitching staff, Jameson became one of the more consistent players of the group. His 3.99 ERA and 1.15 WHIP led all UF pitchers. In 34 appearances, he pitched a perfect 5-0 record alongside three saves.
Two of his strongest performances came in the Gators’ losses to Texas A&M in the College World Series. Across two appearances, Jameson held the Aggies to four hits and one earned run in 7.2 innings. He struck out eight batters over those two appearances as well. Overall, Jameson is the 223rd individual draft selection in school history and the 108th in the Kevin O’Sullivan era. In O’Sullivan’s 17-year tenure, there have now been 57 pitchers drafted after Jameson’s selection.
There have been 11 total Florida pitchers selected over 12 selections since the 2021 MLB Draft. RHP Brandon Sproat was selected twice during his collegiate career, making the counts uneven. Jameson joins fellow SEC star Charlie Condon who was taken by the Rockies with the No. 3 overall pick in the first round.Cam Parker is a contributing writer at AllGators.com of FanNation-Sports Illustrated and is a recent graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in journalism.
