FSU baseball: Impact of Link Jarrett as new head coach
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU baseball fired Mike Martin Jr. soon after the 2022 season came to a conclusion and hired their No. 1 target in Link Jarrett.
The school announced the hire today. Jarrett was one of the top candidates for the job in 2019 when Mike Martin Sr. announced he would retire after the season.
However, the Noles decided to hire Mike Martin Jr., who had been on the staff for the past 20+ years.
However, after 2.5 years of sloppy defense, mediocre hitting, and two regional exits without hosting, new athletic director Michael decided to go in another direction.
The decision was helped by current players on the roster voicing their displeasure with how things were going under Martin Jr. Link Jarrett took the job at Notre Dame the same year Mike Martin Jr. became head coach at FSU baseball.
Jarett took Notre Dame to the Super Regionals in 2021 and the College World Series in 2022. It was their first College World Series appearance in 20 years.
Now that the Noles have their top target letโs discuss the hiring impact of Link Jarrett.
