Justin Shafer will be this season’s “jack of all trades” for the Florida Gators’ baseball team.

Shafer primarily played in the outfield as a true freshman last season, but expect the do-it-all sophomore to take the mound as a pitcher more often than the six innings he pitched last spring. The 2013 season kicks off Feb. 15 with a three-game home series against Duke.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander from Lake Wales, Fla., delivers pitches with decent velocity and accuracy. His two-seam fastball has nice movement, running in on right-handed hitters.
