Hubbart, from Windermere, Florida, allowed only two hits and no walks in Saturday’s 13-2 win over the Dukes. He struck out the side in the first, second, and fifth innings and threw only 75 pitches. Hubbart struck out eight of the first nine batters faced.
The left-hander’s 13 strikeouts are the most by a Seminole since Conor Grady also recorded 13 against Troy in 2021.
Hubbart is the No. 12-rated starting pitcher by D1Baseball and No. 31 on D1’s top draft-eligible players list for 2022. He was also named a second team Preseason All-American by Baseball America and a third team All-American by D1Baseball and Perfect Game.
Hubbart’s 13 strikeouts were the most in the ACC on Opening Weekend and the second-most in the country. Teammate Parker Messick was second in the league with 11 strikeouts on Opening Day against the Dukes and FSU struck out 47 James Madison batters in the three-game sweep.
