FIU baseball coach Mervyl Melendez will be inducted into the Bethune-Cookman Athletics Hall of Fame as it was announced by the school on Wednesday.
Melendez, who was both a baseball player and coach for the Wildcats, will be enshrined as a coach along with 12 other members. The 2016 B-CU Athletic Hall of Fame Class will be honored during festivities on campus and in the community on Hall of Fame Weekend taking place September 16-17.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by the institution who gave me a chance to play college baseball and also provided me with the opportunity to coach this great game," Melendez said.
