Parker Messick, the 2021 ACC Freshman and Pitcher of the Year, has picked up where he left off a season ago. The sophomore leads the country in strikeouts and is 14th in FSU single-season history (so far) in strikeouts. Three times Messick has thrown a career-high 14 strikeouts -- against Samford, Duke and No. 9 Louisville. He is his best against the toughest opponents, throwing 8 scoreless innings against No. 16 Notre Dame; 7 scoreless innings against No. 7 TCU; and 6.2 scoreless innings against No. 9 Louisville, which entered the game with the top-scoring offense in the country. In addition to strikeouts, going into the last weekend of the season, Messick was Top 15 nationally and leads the ACC in strikeouts per nine innings (second in NCAA, 14.37); strikeout-to-walk ratio (fifth in NCAA, 10.15) and WHIP (13th, 0.87). A clubhouse and fan favorite, Messick has started all 14 weekends in 2022.
