UPDATE: FSU has announced a memorial service for Mike Martin Saturday, Feb. 10 at noon, happening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.
Florida State University Baseball confirmed former head coach, Mike Martin, died Thursday.
For 40 years Martin, also known as "11," dedicated his life to the program and changed the lives of several young athletes. In 2019, ABC 27 reported Martin ended his career with 2,029 wins, 17 trips to Omaha, and two College World Series runner up finishes. The one win that eluded him was a national championship, but still a career that will go down as legendary.
Read more about that final game here. Thursday, FSU Baseball said, "Martin died after a three-year battle with Lewy body dementia."
Today we mourn with the Martin family the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and baseball coach.
