CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Miami Hurricanes baseball season is nearly here and now it is time to look at what their poteniel star player is ready to do with another year under his belt.

As a freshman, he broke the Miami freshman homerun record at 24 and led the team in batting average (.351), and RBI (75). The home run record has been in place for 28 years, set by Pat Burrell in his 1997 campaign. Alongside that record, he tied for second-most in a season by a Hurricane regardless of class

Heading into NCAA Tournament, no Division I freshman had tallied more home runs, RBI, or total bases (170) than Cuvet. Among freshmen nationally, he ranked second in slugging (.736) and third in OPS (1.165) and hits (81).
