SEC Baseball Tournament 2023: Final Four Schedule and Bracket Predictions

The SEC Men's Baseball Tournament is down to its final four teams, with top-seeded Florida still looking every bit like the class of the competition while the Texas A&M Aggies continue to make life difficult for teams that, on paper, are superior.

Those two teams are part of a two-game slate of action Saturday that will crown the final two competitors in the field for both the SEC Championship and the all-important momentum ahead of this summer's NCAA World Series.

Who will cash their ticket to Sunday's finale?

Find out with this look at Saturday's schedule and predictions for both games.

Saturday's Final Four Schedule and Predictions

• No. 1 Florida vs. No. 4 Vanderbilt (4:00 p.m., SEC Network) (Prediction: Florida)

No. 1 Seed Florida Two Wins Away from SEC Title

The Florida Gators are two wins away from claiming the SEC Championship. To advance to the finals, they must conquer a Vanderbilt team Saturday afternoon that they just defeated Friday, 6-3.

Gators catcher BT Riopelle obliterated the ball on two different occasions in that first meeting, breaking a tie by way of a grand slam and adding another to put an exclamation point on the team's lopsided victory over the Commodores.

Riopelle walked it off against Alabama two days earlier, too, and has been responsible for 7 RBIs in his two appearances in this tournament. He will be key to preserving Florida's championship aspirations, though the Commodores will likely know better than to pitch to him Saturday.

Pitcher Brandon Spout backed up his catcher's offensive performance with a six-inning, 60-strike showing, and freshman DH Luke Heyman went deep to add to the Gators' explosive offensive outing.

It is incredibly difficult to defeat the same team in back-to-back days but Florida is clearly the class of the conference and will be an incredibly difficult out for any team, not the least of which being a Vanderbilt team that it beat up, and down, Friday.

Look for the Gators to exorcise the Commodores from the tournament and move on to the finals where the winner of a tough, gritty Arkansas team and a defensive-minded Texas A&M squad.
