Florida State To Host Tallahassee Regional As No. 10 Seed

Overview

• The NCAA placed Florida State as the No. 10 overall seed and the Seminoles will host the Tallahassee Regional at Dick Howser Stadium from May 29 to June 1, opening against St. John's at 3 p.m. ET on the ACC Network and putting all-session tickets on sale May 25.
• FSU enters the regional as the favorite after a 38-17 season that produced ACC Pitcher of the Year Wes Mendes and five All-ACC selections, giving the Seminoles a deep, award-winning pitching staff.
• Baseball America analyst Jacob Rudner put FSU on an 'upset watch' because Coastal Carolina could time ace right-hander Cameron Flukey’s return to create a tough winners‑bracket matchup.
• Flukey is returning from months out with a 4.35 ERA in 20.2 innings and 28 strikeouts with seven walks, numbers analysts say make him a high-leverage factor despite Coastal Carolina’s uneven late-season form.
• The regional winner advances to the Super Regionals (June 5–8) and is slated to meet the winner of the Tuscaloosa Regional hosted by Alabama; this is FSU’s third straight year hosting a regional after a 2024 College World Series trip and a 2025 super regional appearance.
