    The Florida Gators have picked up their fourth pitcher through the transfer portal this offseason as Ernesto Lugo-Canchola of DII Northwest Nazarene committed to UF, according to Jacob Rudner of Baseball America.

    Lugo-Canchola posted an impressive 13-0 record with a 2.00 ERA across 94.2 innings in 2025. The 6’5, 230 pound left-handed struck out 103 batters to 44 walks in his lone season with the Nighthawks.

    If he can limit the walks he can be a valuable “innings eater”. We’ll see.

    Looks like he walked a batter every other innings, on average, while striking ou t 1 per inning.

    If he played JUCO 1 year, 2 at Utah, and 1 at Div. II, does the Div. II not count?

    I hear that if you die in Division II, you die in the real world.

    If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, is it really out of eligibility???
