Florida State Seminoles Baseball: 2023 FSU season preview with Brett Nevitt -- what to expect from new team, new coach Link Jarrett

Everything Noles: For Florida State Seminoles Fans

17-02-2023 • 28 mins

It’s been a busy off-season for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team. After last year’s early departure from the regionals, FSU’s leadership made the decision to go in a new direction with the hiring of Link Jarrett from Notre Dame, ending over 40 years of the Martin family leading the Seminoles on the diamond. The former Florida State shortstop hit the ground running with an overhaul of the Seminole coaching staff and revamping a team that lost several key members — including weekend aces Parker Messick and Bryce Hubbart, who were both taken in the MLB draft. In total, Jarrett and staff welcomed 21 new players to the roster. Needless to say, there’s a lot of “new” for the 2023 season. To help fans prepare for all the changes, Tomahawk Nation caught up with the best Florida State baseball beat member, TN alum and current Noles247 contributor Brett Nevitt. We’ll break down how Jarrett, pitching coach Chuck Ristano, hitting coach Rich Wallace, and the remaining staff’s approach differs from past leadership, plus: Does FSU have a future MLB stud in Cam Smith? And can these ‘Noles return to the postseason?
