Link Jarrett previews FSU baseball's future, discusses BJ Gibson's role

Florida State University baseball head coach Link Jarrett expressed optimism about the upcoming season, highlighting the depth of the pitching staff and the athleticism of the outfield, despite losing significant offensive production from the previous year. Jamie Arnold, the National Preseason Pitcher of the Year, is expected to lead the rotation, complemented by new transfers like Joey Volini and Wes Mendes. Jarrett also discussed the transition of wide receiver BJ Gibson to the baseball team, praising his commitment and ability to hold his own at the plate despite a late start due to football commitments. Gibson, who played six games for the football team, is now making strides in baseball as part of a deep outfield roster. The team aims to focus on generating runs through quality at-bats and leveraging increased team speed, rather than relying on the power hitters of the past. Jarrett's candid assessment of the team's strengths and weaknesses sets a challenging yet hopeful tone for the season ahead.
