The enthusiasm and motivation are palpable as both the coaching staff and players look to build upon that success. They’re eyeing a national title this year!
Meet the Stars
As we look forward to the opener, all eyes will be on Jamie Arnold, who is set to take the mound for FSU. With a stellar record from the previous season boasting a 2.98 ERA, he’s not just your average pitcher—he’s projected to be a top-10 pick in the upcoming Major League Baseball Draft. Talk about exciting possibilities!
On the other side of the diamond, JMU is rolling out right-handed pitcher Jackson Logar and is backed by a roster that includes lefty pitchers Jaden Kinsler and Todd Mozoki. As we dive into the series, keep an eye on their standout hitters: Wyatt Peifer, Ryan Dooley, and Coleman Calabrese, who are expected to make waves offensively.
The Rivalry Continues
Interestingly enough, FSU has managed to put a little magic in their home games, defeating JMU in their last six meetings held right here in Tallahassee. As the Seminoles are seen as heavy favorites in this opening match, it’s sure to be an electrifying encounter. Will the streak continue? Only time will tell!
Building a Bright Future
FSU’s head coach, Link Jarrett, has laid a strong emphasis on nurturing local talent, which is crucial for the team’s development. The 2025 roster is a mix of JUCO transfers, college transfers, and bright-eyed high school recruits, with a strong focus on players from around the Tallahassee area. This is a strategy that shows Bow how serious they are about building a solid foundation for the future.
