Former Florida State baseball coach Mike Martin passed away at the age of 79, leaving behind a legacy as the winningest coach in NCAA baseball history. Martin, who was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia three years ago, retired from coaching after the 2019 season, ending his career with 2,029 wins. Under his leadership, the Seminoles became a powerhouse in college baseball, winning 19 conference titles and making 17 College World Series appearances. Although a national championship eluded him, Martin prioritized the relationships he built with his players and the impact he made on their lives. Florida State honored his contributions by naming their baseball field after him in 2005 and commemorating his jersey number in 2021. Martin was also inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019. His passing has left a void not only in the world of sports but in the hearts of those who knew him as a legendary coach and a role model.
