2021

Coach Parenton’s fourth season as head coach at North Florida was one of the most challenging and unique seasons in college sports history as teams balanced the changes brought on by COVID-19 along with the everyday demands required to succeed. North Florida finished 22-23 and 11-7 in the ASUN, finishing just one game back of first place in the ASUN South Division. The Ospreys finished ahead of Stetson and Jacksonville, going 7-2 against the Hatters and 5-2 against the Dolphins on the season.UNF eliminated Stetson from the ASUN Championship by taking the first two games of a best-of-three game series in the ASUN Divisional Round. In the ASUN Championship Final Four, UNF knocked out Kennesaw State before coming up one win shy of the ASUN Championship game.Parenton’s team picked up two top-25 wins, both coming on the road. UNF opened the year with a 7-4 win against No. 24/21 Florida State before beating No. 21 Georgia, 7-4, just weeks later.Coming up big in both of those wins and throughout the whole season was Division III graduate transfer Alex Kachler, who went on to become the first student-athlete in ASUN Baseball history to be named ASUN Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the same season. He also was one of 10 studentathletes in NCAA DI Baseball to be named a finalist for the Senior Class Award. Joining Kachler on the all-conference team was freshman Aidan Sweatt who was a unanimous pick to the ASUN AllFreshmen team after producing one of the most consistent years on record for a UNF freshman. Sweatt helped lead a defense that finished first in the ASUN in double plays turned (46) and fourth in the nation in double plays spun per game (1.02). In the outfield, Blake Marabell dazzled with three home run robs on the season as he appeared on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays on multiple occasions. On the hill, righty Brandon Reitz paced the ASUN with 10 saves, finishing tied for first in UNF DI history for the most saves in a season. Joining him in a solid bullpen was Eddie Miller and Stephen Halstead who turned in sub-2.50 ERAs across 40-combined appearances.

2020

The 2020 season concluded in mid-March due to the COVID-19 developments, but the Ospreys had a slew of strong teams slated for Parenton's third season leading the Ospreys. UNF was set to host 36 games at Harmon Stadium and play 15 games against teams in the 2019 NCAA Championship. UNF did play six of those games after hosting Central Michigan and Ohio State. The Ospreys would host VMI, Rutgers, Hartford, CMU and OSU in addition to playing a road contest at South Carolina Feb. 25. North Florida opened up the season with a 5-4 walk-off victory against VMI Feb. 14, making UNF 2-1 in season openers under Parenton. Parenton put forth a squad that saw the UNF debut of 14 players, 10 of which were newcomers. UNF concluded the shortened season with a 9-5 defeat of visiting Ohio State March 11. The Ospreys received a three-run home run from catcher Tanner Clark and a 3.2-inning save from redshirt-senior Eddie Miller in the win.

2019

Parenton's second season saw the Ospreys achieve notable individual and team numbers and honors. For the first time in UNF's ASUN affiliation the Ospreys received superlative pitching and academic all-conference honors. Redshirt-senior Brad Deppermann was singled out as the ASUN Pitcher of the Year, while junior center fielder Tanner Murphy was tabbed as the ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Deppermann and Murphy weren't
