Teams and Players to Watch

As both teams prepare, the spotlight is on their pitching and hitting capabilities. Florida State’s pitching staff features key arms like Jamie Arnold, who has an impressive 8-2 record and a 3.12 ERA. He stands out with a fastball that consistently touches the upper 90s. In addition, Joey Volini and Wes Mendes add depth to the Seminoles‘ rotation, each providing formidable support. Florida State’s bullpen is marked by Joe Charles, who leads with four saves and a 3.82 ERA. With a lineup highlighted by Alex Lodise, batting .405, and Gage Harrelson, hitting .335, Florida State looks well-equipped to capitalize on opportunities. Baseball America outlines Florida State’s offensive prowess, ranking 12th nationally in batting average and 14th in slugging percentage.

On the flip side, Oregon State also brings firepower to the plate. The team features standout players like Aiva Arquette and Gavin Turley, both hitting for an impressive .352 average with 18 home runs apiece. Their overall offensive statistics, such as a .408 on-base percentage and a 491 slugging percentage, indicate they know how to put runs on the board. Oregon State’s pitching, with Eric Segura and Ethan Kleinschmit among its key contributors, has shown significant improvement, particularly during regional play. The Beavers will need to leverage their depth against Florida State’s capable lineup, especially given their current struggles against left-handed pitchers.
