As fans of Florida State athletics wait impatiently for the college football season to start, baseball coach Link Jarrett continues to build his roster for the future.
Junior college infielder Tyler Correa has committed to the Seminoles, will play another season at Chipola College, and will report to the Seminoles for the 2028 season.
While at Chipola last season, Correa played in 53 games for the Indians. He batted .372 with five home runs and 51 runs batted in. Correa was patient at the plate as well, drawing 33 walks and collecting eight doubles and four triples.
"Beyond Blessed to announce my commitment to Florida State University," Correa wrote on social media. "Would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity, as well my family, coaches, and teammates for helping me along the way,” according to a story by JD McCarthy of FSU Wire on usatoday.com.
With Correa’s commitment, Jarrett will have a talented corps of players to lean on to lead the Seminoles back to super regionals and beyond. Florida State finished the 2026 season with a 40-19 record and hosted a regional. Then they got eliminated from their own regional by St. John’s.
At the Major League Draft, Jarrett said goodbye to starters Brayden Dowd, first baseman Myles Bailey and ACC Pitcher of the Year Wes Mendes. In addition, they lost the pitching rotation of starting pitchers Trey Beard and Bryson Moore. Relief pitchers Brodie Purcell and Cole Stokes also made it to the next level. The Seminoles ranked second in the ACC in team ERA last season.
A Tallahassee native, Correa joins talented transfers like catcher Coy Clements, designated hitter Jackson McKenzie, first baseman Nick Barron, shortstop Cooper Malamazian, infielder Callum Early, and outfielder Ty Peeples. Jarrett also stocked up on five pitchers, led by Big East Pitcher of the Year Cayden Suchy from UConn.
Three times last season, Correa collected four hits in a game, against East Community College, Northwest Florida State College and Pensacola State College; he also drove in four runs twice.
Correa will learn about the tradition of Florida State baseball from the example set by the players that came before him. The Seminoles return players in 2027 like ace reliever John Abraham, outfielders John Stuetzer and Brody DeLamielleure, and infielder Cal Fisher.
Once again, Dick Howser Stadium will be where baseball dreams go to die for the opposition, as the venue was a force multiplier for Florida State. The team posted a 29-6 home record last season.
The Seminoles will have the talent to make a deeper run in the NCAA tournament in 2027. If the transfers can gel with the returning veterans and build chemistry, the Seminoles will be special in 2027, and that deeper run could end at the College World Series.
