TALLAHASSEE - Head coach Lonni Alameda and the Florida State softball program signed the ASUN Player of the Year in Nicole Edmiaston (Pronounced ED-mus-tin) on Thursday morning.
Â
Edmiaston put together the greatest offensive season in Stetson softball history this past season. The junior posted a batting average of .453 with a .561 on-base percentage and a .900 slugging percentage which were all Stetson school records. Edmiaston also hit a school record 23 home runs and 70 RBI in 57 games for the Hatters. Edmiaston ranked top 20 in the country in batting average, home runs, RBI, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Edmiaston recorded a hit in 46 out of the 57 games for Stetson this year.Â
Â
Edmiaston earned First Team NFCA All-Region honors and was a First Team All-ASUN selection. She was ranked No. 49 in Softball America's Top 100 players at the end of the 2026 season. Edmiaston earned National Player of the Week honors from the NFCA and Softball America on March 17 after going 9-for-13 with three home runs and 11 RBI in a series against North Florida.
Â
Prior to Stetson, Edmiaston spent two seasons at Florida Southwestern where she hit .383 with three homers and 73 RBI. A Freeburg, Illinois, native, Edmiaston was a First Team All-State selection and hit .636 with 13 homers and 73 RBI in her final season.Â
Â
Edmiaston will major in political science and was a CSC Academic All-District honoree this past season.Â
Â
What They're Saying: "Nicole brings a lot of home run power and a plus .400 batting average to our lineup. She has gotten better every year throughout her college career. She elevated her game through multiple levels, and we have no doubt that her game will transition well into the Power Four level. She is a reliable first baseman and a pure hitter to all fields and will be a fantastic addition to Team 44." - Assistant Coach Travis Wilson
