When the Miami Hurricanes open the 2021 season at the University of Florida’s brand new ballpark, they’ll be without their biggest strength from a year ago.

Head coach Gino DiMare is confident that this year’s team can overcome the challenge of replacing three elite starting arms, but admits there is some uncertainty.
“It’s a big loss, losing those three guys,” DiMare said on finding a new weekend pitching trio.
