Buster Posey will have his jersey retired at a ceremony in March, as Florida State will honor one of the best players in program history.

A ceremony will be held before the Seminoles’ game against Pittsburgh on Saturday, March 11 with first pitch scheduled for 3 p.m, the Seminoles announced. Posey’s jersey will be just the fourth retired in the storied history of the Seminole baseball program joining Dick Howser, J.D. Drew and Mike Martin in the honor.

Posey, who was a two-time first team All-America catcher for the Seminoles in 2007 and 2008, won virtually every award in baseball including the Golden Spikes Award, Dick Howser Trophy, Brooks Wallace, Johnny Bench and Player of the Year honors by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and Rivals.com in his junior season. Posey also earned All-America honors as a freshman in 2006 at shortstop for the Seminoles before moving behind the plate.

Posey’s records from his consensus All-America junior season included leading the nation in 6 offensive categories including batting average (.463), hits (119), RBI (93), total bases (226), on-base percentage (.566) and slugging percentage (.879).

His batting average was the highest recorded in a single season in Seminole baseball history. He led FSU to the College World Series in 2008, the Seminoles’ first trip to Omaha since 2000. He also led the ACC in eight categories en route to being named 2008 Player of the Year and became just the fourth player in ACC history to capture the triple crown as he led the league in batting average, home runs (26) and RBI.
