The next newcomer to the FSU baseball program is a JUCO transfer from Polk State College in Winter Haven, FL.. In 2017, the Eagles posted 41 wins en route to the Suncoast Conference Championship. FSU head coach Mike Martin was able to secure a commitment from the team’s Most Valuable Player.
Historically, the Seminoles are not known for racking up their stolen base numbers. Last season the ’Noles averaged less than one (0.86) SB/game. They ranked 161st out of 295 D1 programs. While, yes, college baseball lends itself to the power approach of base hit - base hit - 3-run home run, FSU could benefit from having more guys like this in close-game situations.
