TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State baseball juniors Jamie Arnold and Alex Lodise and freshman Myles Bailey have been named All-Americans by Baseball America, the outlet unveiled on Friday.
Lodise was named to the All-America First Team, Arnold to the Second Team and Bailey to the Freshman First Team.
This is the fourth All-America honors this season for Arnold and Lodise and the second for Bailey. The trio was recognized by Perfect Game on June 10, with Arnold and Lodise on the First Team and Bailey on the Freshman First Team. The NCBWA named Arnold and Lodise First Team All-Americans on June 11, while the ABCA bestowed Arnold with First Team distinction and Lodise with Second Team accolades on June 13.
To headline the 2025 postseason awards, Lodise was named the recipient of the 2025 Dick Howser Trophy as the national player of the year on June 13. He also is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award.
Arnold is a multiple-time All-American in back-to-back seasons, FSU's first since Parker Messick from 2021-22. Bailey is Florida State's first Freshman All-American since 2022 and the first Seminole to earn multiple Freshman All-America accolades since Messick in 2021.
A left-handed starter from Tampa, Florida, Arnold was recognized on five All-America teams as a sophomore in 2024, including four first teams. A shortstop from St. Augustine, Florida, Lodise's four All-America accolades this year come after he was selected to one Freshman All-America team in 2023 at North Florida. A first baseman from Tallahassee, Florida, Bailey's two freshman honors are his first major national awards.
The trio helped the Seminoles to a second consecutive NCAA Super Regional appearance in 2025 with a 42-16 record. As they all earned All-ACC honors, FSU went 17-10 in the conference and finished in second place with a .630 winning percentage. The ACC runner-up finish and No. 2 seed at the conference tournament were the team's best since 2014. Arnold and Lodise were both selected as team captains in 2025.
With an 8-2 record, Arnold finished 10th in the country in strikeouts (119) and 17th in strikeouts per nine innings (12.65). He was third in the ACC in WHIP (1.06) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.41), fourth in ERA (2.98) and hits allowed per nine innings (6.70) and sixth in wins (8). In 15 starts, Arnold allowed 28 earned runs on 63 hits in 84.2 innings with 27 walks and a .208 opponent batting average.
Along with his four All-America accolades, Arnold was named to the Southeast All-Region First Team by the ABCA. The Tallahassee Regional Most Outstanding Player and a First Team All-ACC honoree, Arnold was a Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy Semifinalist. He was named to the National Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List and recognized as the ACC Pitcher of the Week on April 14.
One of the nation's most prolific hitters and best defenders, Lodise had a breakout 2025 campaign. He ranked No. 9 in the country in hits (95), No 11 in total bases (170) No. 12 in hits per game (1.64) and No. 23 in batting average (.394). Lodise was third in the ACC in RBI (68), fourth in slugging percentage (.705) and fifth in triples (3). He hit 17 home runs, had 18 doubles, scored 62 runs with 27 walks and was a perfect 6-of-6 in stolen base attempts. With a .977 fielding percentage, Lodise was part of 34 double plays and committed just five errors in 216 total fielding chances.
While starting all 58 of FSU's games at shortstop, Lodise had at least one hit in 48 of those 58 games played, with 31 multi-hit games. He notched three or more hits in 13 games, which is more than the number of times he was held hitless (10) and almost as many games as he had just one hit (17). Additionally, Lodise is believed to be the first player in major college or professional baseball history to complete the cycle with a walk-off grand slam. The historic performance to beat rival Florida in his hometown of Jacksonville on March 25 was one of seven game-winning hits for Lodise in 2025.
In addition to the Dick Howser Trophy and four All-America honors, Lodise was named the ACC Player of the Year and ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He is the NCBWA District 3 Player of the Year and recognized on the Southeast All-Region First Team by the ABCA. A Golden Spikes Award and Brooks Wallace Award finalist, Lodise was named the midseason National Player of the Year and the country's No. 1-ranked shortstop late in the season.
Bailey finished his inaugural FSU campaign ranked No. 2 in the ACC in home runs (19) and No. 7 in slugging percentage (.663). While starting 56 games at first base, he hit .327 with 66 hits, 11 doubles and 56 RBI. Bailey scored 50 runs with 134 total bases and walked 32 times in 202 at-bats. He stole four bases in five attempts. In the field, Bailey notched a .990 fielding percentage with 384 putouts.
Selected to the Tallahassee Regional All-Regional Team, Bailey's impressive postseason showing also included ACC All-Tournament Team accolades. He was recognized on the ACC All-Freshman Team in addition to his two Freshman First Team All-America awards. Bailey also has earned an invitation to the 2025 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp.
