FSU is competing against a top-10 opponent and two other high-major opponents with a history of postseason success in the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series in Arlington, Texas.
It’ll be the first time the Seminoles have played in an MLB stadium since 2018, and they’ll get to do it three times, having beaten Michigan on Friday and set to face off against No. 9 Auburn Saturday at 4 p.m. and Nebraska Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
“This is quite the tournament,” Jarrett said Thursday. “Clearly, you can see the level of competition. I feel like this has the bracket in Omaha-type potential.”
It’ll certainly be a change for the 16th-ranked Seminoles (3-0), who haven’t played in these high-profile events of late. The timing is good for an early-season test after Florida State disposed of James Madison in a two-game sweep and then smashed Jacksonville on the road Wednesday, winning its last two games by way of the run rule.
It remains at least somewhat up in the air if Florida Atlantic transfer Trey Beard will be able to make his Seminole debut this weekend. He was scratched last Saturday due to a stomach bug.
Jarrett said that Beard threw a bullpen earlier this week and will do so again today during the team’s practice at Globe Life Field. A determination of his status will be made after his session today.
“He’s doing a lot better. I guess when you have that stomach virus bug, it takes you awhile to get your strength back,” Jarrett said. “ … This is a long season. When somebody’s beat up like that, you want to be smart and wise.”
If Beard is able to go, he’ll start the Sunday game against Nebraska, which is currently listed as a TBD in FSU’s game notes.
Virginia transfer Bryson Moore will start Saturday’s game against Auburn after struggling in his FSU debut last Saturday, getting chased after allowing three runs on four hits over 1 2/3 innings.
As for the opponents, let’s go team-by-team in the order FSU will play them.
Florida State took down Michigan in convincing fashion on Friday, beating the Wolverines 6-1:
Florida State started fast but finished slow against Auburn on Saturday, falling to the Tigers 8-5:
Nebraska (3-1) also started the season at a neutral-site event in Arizona after making its second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance last season. The Cornhuskers didn’t play the premier level of programs that Michigan did, but they found success against some mid-major teams which have recently made the postseason.
Nebraska beat UConn, Northeastern and Grand Canyon by a combined margin of 28-7 before losing 11-6 to Stanford on Monday. The Cornhuskers lineup has been mashing early this season with 15 doubles and a .370 batting average.
Sophomore RHP Gavin Blachowicz started Sunday’s 9-1 win over Grand Canyon, potentially aligning him against FSU’s TBD starter. He allowed just two hits and one run over 4 2/3 innings, striking out five but walking two and hitting two more.
