Gator Tales #58: Aidan King and Ava Brown

This week on Gator Tales, Presented by UF Health, Voice of the Gators Sean Kelley sits down with a pair of Florida stars on the diamond in Aidan King and Ava Brown as the spring sports schedule hits full force. Kelley catches up with King on the heels of his first weekend start of the 2026 season, having chucked six shutout innings to earn the win against UAB on Feb. 14. The two discuss King's second act in Orange & Blue after a historic rookie campaign one year ago in which the Jacksonville, Fla. native paced all qualifying SEC pitchers with a 2.58 ERA on top of a .213 batting average against (eighth), 73 1/3 innings pitched (16th) and five quality starts. Kelley and King also get into some off-the-field topics before the interview concludes. While the baseball team has jumped out to a 4-1 start, Brown and the UF softball squad are 14-0 to open the campaign. Brown has been a major reason why, as the junior two-way talent had batted .355/.583/.806 with four homers and 14 RBI in 14 contests while pitching to a 4-0 record and 0.60 ERA in the circle over eight appearances. The Montgomery, Tex. product dives into this year's team with Kelley while getting into additional softball topics and more. Both UF baseball and softball are at home this weekend from Feb. 20-22. Baseball welcomes Kennesaw State for a three-game series at Condron Family Ballpark while softball hosts a tournament against Longwood, Middle Tennessee and Lindenwood. Enjoying the podcast?
