The 2014 Florida Gators baseball team represented the University of Florida in the sport of baseball during the 2014 college baseball season. This was the Gators' 100th season of baseball.[3] They competed in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They played their home games at Alfred A. McKethan Stadium on the university's Gainesville, Florida campus. The team was coached by Kevin O'Sullivan, who was in his seventh season at Florida. The Gators entered the season looking to build upon their appearance in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, where they were eliminated after consecutive losses to Austin Peay and Valparaiso.
