​The FSU baseball team has addressed its need at first base, landing a commitment from Northwestern starter Nick Barron out of the transfer portal.Barron became Northwestern’s starter as a true freshman, starting 51 games at either first base or designated hitter. He hit .295 with nine home runs, 15 doubles, and 33 RBI. The Acton, Massachusetts native will have four seasons of eligibility with the Seminoles.He finished with a .516 slugging percentage and a .352 on-base percentage. The lefty walked 17 times and struckout 31 times.With Myles Bailey getting taken by the Chicago Cubs in the 2026 MLB Draft, FSU needed a starting first baseman out of the transfer portal. Barron is the clear frontrunner to win the job; he made just one error last season, posting a .997 fielding percentage. Barron is the eighth transfer that FSU has added this offseason, but pitcher Alex Philpott was taken in the draft by the Tampa Bay Rays and is unlikely to make it to campus. Barron is the fourth position player they have landed, joining outfielder Ty Peeples, designated hitter Jackson McKenzie, and shortstop Cooper Malamazian.View this post on InstagramFollow us @FSUWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Florida State news, notes, and opinions.This article originally appeared on FSU Wire: FSU baseball lands key first base transfer
