Florida State baseball: Wyatt Crowell undergoes season ending surgery

The struggling Florida State baseball team received a significant blow tonight when their fears were confirmed that star pitcher Wyatt Crowell would be out for the season. The junior posted to social media this evening thanking doctors for a successful surgery. Noles247’s Brett Nevitt confirmed the surgery was indeed for Tommy John repairing the Ulnar Collateral Ligament in his left elbow.

This season Crowell was 3-0 in five appearances, posting a 0.87 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 20.2 IP. Over his three years at Florida State, Crowell has been one of the Seminole’s best pitchers with a career 2.15 ERA across 88 innings.
