FSCJ BlueWave Baseball was honored by the National Junior College Athletic Association with the 2015-16 Academic Honorable Mention Team Award.

In addition to their fourth place ranking in conference play for the competitive season, the BlueWave baseball team cumulatively held a 3.27 grade point average at the close of the academic year, earning them second place in Florida and 18th in the nation.

Head Coach Brad Frick attributes much of the players’ academic success to the “student-first” mentality he and his coaching staff instill from the start of their FSCJ career.

“I’m very proud of these young men and the example they have set for a successful college athletic program,” said Coach Frick. “Our players are great competitors not only on the field, but in the classroom as well.”

As the off-season approaches, Coach Frick and the BlueWave baseball team continue to train while maintaining a strong emphasis on the classroom, improving the success of the program’s and contributing to the students’ long-term educational goals.
