Previous season
The 2024 Florida State Seminoles baseball team compiled a record of 49–17 overall and 17–12 in ACC play. At the end of the ACC regular season, outfielder James Tibbs III was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Player of the Year .[ 2] In addition, Tibbs III and Jamie Arnold were named to the All-ACC First Team, while Cam Smith was named to the All-ACC Second Team.[ 2] Marco Dinges and Jaime Ferrer were named to the All-ACC Third Team.[ 2]
The Seminoles reached the championship game of the 2024 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament before losing 4–16 to Duke in the final.[ 3] Marco Dinges, Tibbs III, and Drew Faurot were all named to the ACC All-Tournament Team.[ 4]
Despite not winning the ACC tournament, Florida State received an at-large berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball tournament and an eighth-overall national seed, giving them the right to host both a regional and a super regional.[ 5] Drawn into the Tallahassee Regional were SEC opponent Alabama , as well as fellow Floridian colleges UCF of the Big 12 and Stetson of the ASUN . In the regional, the Seminoles went a perfect 3–0, defeating Stetson in the opening game and UCF twice (Alabama went 0–2 and did not play Florida State).[ 6] In the Super Regional, the Seminoles hosted Big East opponent UConn . In a best-of-three series, Florida State defeated UConn 2–0, advancing to their first College World Series since 2019.[ 7]
In the College World Series, the Seminoles suffered a first-round setback, losing to Tennessee , 11–12, off of a walk-off run.[ 8] Florida State proceeded to win its next two elimination games against fellow ACC opponents Virginia [ 9] and North Carolina , setting up a rematch with Tennessee in the national semifinals. Needing to win twice to advance to the national championship, Florida State lost 2–7 to the Volunteers in the opening semifinal game. Tennessee ultimately went on to win the national championship. Upon the conclusion of the tournament, catcher Jaxson West and outfielder Jaime Ferrer were named to the All-Tournament Team.[ 10]
