These two former teammates and battery mates on the '94 and '95 FSU CWS teams are together again on the FSU staff. There should be lots of stories to tell about their playing days together and we will also get a preview of the 2012 squad as the team will have just completed Fall practice.
New FSU Pitching Coach Mike Bell's resume speaks for itself. In seven seasons as the Division I level, including the last four as the Oklahoma pitching coach, the Sarasota, Fla. native has helped recruit and develop 22 pitchers who were selected in the Major League Baseball draft. That includes three first-round selections - including 2006 No. 1 overall pick Luke Hochevar - during his three seasons at Tennessee, where he helped the Volunteers reach the 2005 College World Series. A left-handed pitcher and first baseman for the Seminoles, Bell helped Coach Martin's teams reach the 1994 and 1995 CWS in his only two seasons. He was a two-year teammate of FSU assistant coach Mike Martin, Jr., who handled the catching duties for those squads. Bell posted a two-year record of 14-4 with a 3.00 ERA and was twice named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll.
Entering his 15th season as an assistant coach, Mike Martin Jr. is widely recognized as one of the bright young coaches in the college game. A former All-American catcher with the Seminoles, he coaches third base, works with the hitters, handles the Florida State catchers and continues to assist in the recruiting process.
Social hour starts at 6:00 PM and the speakers will join us around 6:45 PM.
