FGCU Baseball

DeusXFlorida

After a record breaking season taking the FGCU baseball team to its first NCAA tournament after winning its first ASUN Tournament Title, Coach Dave Tollett is back out scouting for new players again this summer.

Today on the show, we catch up with Coach to talk about how far the team has come since he started it from scratch fifteen years ago. Now ranked # 9 in the country, the team will see some changes with the drafting of players Kutter Crawford, Julio Gonzalez, and Garrett Anderson. Still, with a team that feels more like a family, Coach Tollett says he believes they’ll continue their successful streak- especially with the help of new assistant coach, Brandon Romans.
