Arnold and Lodise Add ABCA All-America Accolades
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State baseball juniors Jamie Arnold and Alex Lodise have earned their third All-America honors, as the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announced their All-America teams on Friday.
The ABCA honor is the latest for Arnold and Lodise, who also were bestowed with First Team All-America distinction by Perfect Game on Tuesday and the NCBWA on Wednesday.
On Friday, the ABCA named Arnold to its All-America First Team and Lodise to its All-America Second Team.
Earlier on Friday, Lodise was named the 2025 winner of the Dick Howser Trophy as the national player of the year by the NCBWA.
Arnold, a left-handed starter from Tampa, Florida, is a multiple-time All-American in back-to-back years, after he was recognized on five lists as a sophomore in 2024, including four first teams. A shortstop from St. Augustine, Florida, Lodise’s three All-America accolades this week come after he was selected to one Freshman All-America team in 2023 at North Florida.
Arnold and Lodise helped the Seminoles to a second consecutive NCAA Super Regional appearance in 2025 with a 42-16 record. As they both 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 three First Team 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 his three 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.
