Scouting Report | UCF | Schedule | Statistics | Roster

• UCF is 26-17 and 10-5 in the AAC. 
• The Knights have had to work through the injury bug this season, but they are coming off a pair of big conference-series victories. UCF swept Wichita State on the road and took two of three from Tulane last weekend.
• Originally a bullpen arm, Ben Vespi dominated in his latest start Friday vs. the Green Wave, earning American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week honors May 2. 
• Despite missing some starting pitching, UCF still touts a 3.68 team ERA, good for the best mark in the league and 16th in the country. 
• UCF has speed up and down the lineup. As a squad, UCF has swiped 84 bags, the best tally in the conference and 15th-most in Division I. 
• Outfielder Gephry Pena is a big reason for those stolen base numbers. The speedster not only has great range in the outfield, but he has taken 22 stolen bases.
