TALLAHASSEE – Three Florida State baseball pitchers have earned ABCA All-Region honors, the American Baseball Coaches Association announced on Tuesday.
Junior right-handed reliever John Abraham and junior left-handed starter Wes Mendes were named to the Southeast All-Region First Team and junior right-handed starter Bryson Moore is on the Southeast All-Region Second Team. All three are recognized on an All-Region Team for the first time in their careers.
After the Seminoles received two First Team accolades in 2024 and three in 2025, FSU has three consecutive years with multiple First Team recognitions for the first time since a 17-year stretch from 1996-2012. Three or more pitchers are bestowed with All-Region distinction for just the third time since 2005, along with 2019 and 2021.
Mendes is the ACC Pitcher of the Year, the third in program history, and Abraham is the second FSU pitcher to be named a finalist for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year. Both are All-ACC honorees, Mendes on the First Team and Abraham on the Third Team. Mendes also was a Dick Howser Trophy and National Pitcher of the Year semifinalist and earned two ACC Pitcher of the Week accolades and several National Team of the Week honors.
Abraham was third in the ACC with six saves in 2026, all coming in ACC play which was tied for second-most in the league. In 19 appearances and 47.0 innings pitched, he notched a 1.91 ERA, the best on the team with more than 6.0 innings pitched. Abraham struck out 58 batters, fourth-most on the team and tied for the most among relievers. A Tampa, Florida, native, he allowed 10 earned runs on 32 hits with 24 walks and posted a 1.19 WHIP and held opponents to a .190 batting average.
Mendes is among the nation's leaders in strikeouts (125, No. 12 NCAA, No. 1 ACC), WHIP (1.02, No. 15/1), complete games (2, No. 15/1) wins (9, No. 25/6) and starts (16, No. 26/2). He was third in the ACC with a 2.81 ERA and No. 4 with 6.77 hits allowed per nine innings, a 5.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 12.10 strikeouts per nine innings. In ACC games, Mendes led the league with 62.1 innings pitched and 79 strikeouts and also was in the top 10 in fewest home runs allowed (4), ERA (3.32), opponent batting average (.223), wins (5) and fewest walks allowed (16). From Tampa, Florida, Mendes posted a 9-3 record and led the team with 93.0 innings pitched while allowing 29 earned runs on 70 hits with a .207 opponent batting average.
Moore started all 14 games he appeared in and posted a 6-2 record with a 3.86 ERA in his first year at Florida State. He allowed 29 earned runs on 58 hits in 67.2 innings while striking out 65 and walking 25. A native of Fairfax, Virginia, Moore held opponents to a .230 batting average and posted a 1.23 WHIP.
Abraham, Mendes and Moore helped the Seminoles to a 40-19 season in 2026. Florida State reached the 40-win mark for the third consecutive year after a four-year gap without 40 wins from 2020-23. Finishing third in the ACC, the team was 19-11 with eight series wins, both the best totals since 2014 outside of the extended 2021 season. FSU made its 62nd NCAA appearance, second-most all-time, and hosted an NCAA Regional for the 38th time, the most in the country. Florida State is one of three teams to host a regional each of the last three years.
