FSU Baseball Link Jarrett Talks 2025 Season, Arsex and Excitement
A year, removed from the trip to the World Baseball Series of the College’s baseball, Florida Link Jaret’s coach is cautiously optimistic for the 2025 season.
The Seminols passed 49-17 last season and ended as a national semifinalist, completing a remarkable turn in Jarrett’s second season. James Tibs III, Kam Smith, Jamie Ferrer and Marco Dings were decisive players in the return of FSU to Omaha, Nebraska.
However, they are gone, and the list of Seminoles has changed.
Entering in 2025, Seminoles are consensus top 10 team, according to the D1 Baseball (9), Baseball America (6) and Perfect Game (6) ranking. By bringing 26 new players, the FSU wadding order and Piking staff will be restructured around the key returning Max Williams in the field, Alex Lodis at Shortstop and Ace Jamie Arnold, among others.
FSU opens its season with a home series of three games against James Madison on Friday, February 14th.
“You have some returning, stabilizing factors there,” Jarrett said. “I like the team athleticism. Each team is different, you will not have two identical teams. The expectation for the result of the season does not change, but how you will get there will change.”
Jarrett said his greatest care for the composition was to get constant power and quality bats from his left-handed. He mentioned Williams, Miles Bailey and Blade Plain as players who wants to get additional bases and help Seminoles’s result in grapes. He feels that progress is being made from this group.
Seminols have to replace the heart of the order, with Tibs, Smith, Ferrier, Dings and Daniel Cantu disappeared. This group represents 331 tracks, battled and 90 household tracks last season, which gives FSU one of the highest crimes in the college.
Williams, who hit lead, said he was likely to fall further into the wadding order to help drive in running after hitting .311 with 46 RBI and 14 home tracks last season. He hopes to increase his production.
“I liked to hit lead last year, but I’m not really a stereotypical striker,” Williams said. “This year I will definitely move to the squad, drive in some tracks and give our team a chance to win.”
Williams wants to be the leader of the group and wants to be a player that newcomers can look for guidance. He said that transfers and freshmen have the talent to compete and he is excited to see how the composition is gathering.
“They stand out in terms of pure talent more than the other players I’ve seen,” Williams said.
“It’s like having a jared verse there” Jaret is excited about Bailey, a freshman class
Jarrett said it was rare to see influential freshmen in the college baseball. But with the seminoles class, which includes Bailey, Jace Esit, Noah Sheffield and Hunter Carnes, Jarrett is excited about the group.
He said every player has grown after the fall and is impressed by how the group gets to speed. He wants to see them reach the speed of the game more, but Jarrett said the four freshmen show glimpses and have an impact.
“These are the freshmen who stand out throughout the long way,” Jarrett said. “When you have the ability to add transfers and build this list and have the opportunity to take the age. Sometimes the freshman is not as big as 10 years ago, so it is a little more difficult to jump there and take the submission as a young player.”
“The ones we have, they have influenced what we do.”
Jarrett was especially free for Bailey and Carnes, calling them both advanced players. He said Carnes lives in the quotation cage and even jokes that he probably made swings during a press conference.
The 6-end first-year-old catch impressed Jarrett behind the plate and during bats, and he has been working hard since he arrived on the campus.
Bailey Jaret said he was physically one of the best players he saw. The Lincoln product stands 6 feet and weighs £ 257, attracts Jarrett to compare it to all time Seminole Football.
“I have never seen physicality,” Jarrett said. “I had some really dynamic offense players, but I just didn’t have someone the size of a jared verse running around in practice.”
“I just don’t want to prevent it.”
