Location

The University of Miami is located in Coral Gables, Florida. The school is about 15 minutes from downtown Miami, and about an hour from South Beach. The campus is spread out over 260 acres, and includes many buildings of architectural significance. There are also several beautiful parks and gardens on campus.

History

The University of Miami’s first baseball team was fielded in 1926. The team played their first game against Rollins College, winning 9-3. The program then struggled for several years until it was revived in the early 1940s by Jack Harding. Under his direction, Miami reached the College World Series for the first time in school history in 1950. In 1952, Harding led Miami to a second CWS appearance. Despite being eliminated in the semi-final round, this would be the last time that Rollins would ever defeat Miami on the diamond.

Under head coach Ron Fraser, who took over in 1963, Miami became a national power. They reached the CWS 12 times in his 30 seasons as head coach and won the title three times (1982, 1985, 1999). Fraser retired after the 1992 season and was succeeded by Jim Morris. Morris guided the program to two more national championships (2001, 2002) in his eleven seasons as head coach.

The University of Miami has had 66 players drafted in the MLB Draft and 12 who have gone on to play in Major League Baseball (MLB). As of July 2017, there are 11 former Hurricanes playing in MLB. George H.W. Bush was an honorary captain of Miami’s 1989 College World Series team and threw out the ceremonial first pitch during their 2001 World Series run; he is believed to be only US president to have been an honorary captain of any sports team at any level.
