Florida State fires Mike Martin Jr. after three seasons

Mike Martin Jr. FSU

TALLAHASSEE, FL (SNN-TV) – Mike Martin Jr., who succeeded his father, the winningest coach in Division-I baseball history as Florida State’s head coach, was fired earlier today after three seasons at the helm.

FSU went 1-2 in an NCAA regional and ended its season with a 34-25 record, good for ninth in the ACC, a disappointing season for a team picked as the preseason favorite by the conference’s coaches. Overall under Martin, the Seminoles were 77-54.

Martin Jr. played for his father at FSU, serving as the starting catcher from 1993-95, including trips to the College World Series in 1994 and 1995.
