Florida State baseball promotes Brad Vanderglas from volunteer assistant to full-time assistant

Florida State baseball promoted Brad Vanderglas from a volunteer assistant role to a full-time assistant role earlier on Thursday, Kendall Rogers of d1baseball.com reported. The FSU baseball program also announced the move in a press release on their website. Seminoles’ head baseball coach Link Jarrett was thrilled to talk about Vanderglas moving into a full-time role.

“We are thrilled the NCAA has allowed a third baseball assistant coach to recruit off campus,” Jarrett said. “Fortunately, Brad was on our FSU staff last year and is now back in a position allowing him to dive in fully to our recruiting efforts. With 40-man rosters, the complicated draft system of our incoming recruits and existing players being draft eligible, no sport has more recruiting nuances then college baseball. Having another experienced evaluator helping off campus to sort this out goes a long way.”

Before joining Florida State for the 2023 campaign, Vanderglas was at Notre Dame in 2022. There, he helped to lead the Fighting Irish to the College World Series for the first time since 2002 and just the third time in school history. Vanderglas also worked with the FSU outfielders, managed practices, and led all of the instructional camps and clinics. He also helped with scouting reports, defensive alignments, infield instruction, and all phases of team offensive instruction.

He took some time to comment on his new role on Thursday in the press release issued by the school.
“I’m extremely grateful to work for such a prestigious university and storied baseball program,” Vanderglas said. “It’s a privilege to show up to work everyday alongside Coach Jarrett. The empathy and passion he has for developing our guys on and off the field will lead Florida State to new heights, and I’m eager to step into this new role.”
