2025 All-Florida League Teams Announced

SANFORD, Fla.- The Florida Collegiate Summer League is pleased to announce the 2025 All-Florida League teams. The teams are broken up into first and second teams, and recognize the best players in the Florida League this season.

CATCHER: Hayden Gustavson (Louisiana Tech)
Orlando Snappers
In his second season with head coach Terry Abbott and the Orlando Snappers, Gustavson proved to be one of the League's best power hitters. Gustavson belted five home runs and drove in 20 runs, adding 21 runs scored. He made a major impact during Orlando's playoff run, hitting safely in four of the team's five postseason games. He drove in two runs and scored another in Orlando's lone elimination game, a Game 3 win over Leesburg in the FCSL Semifinals.

FIRST BASE: Xavier Lopez (Rollins)
Sanford River Rats
Xavier Lopez earns a spot on the All-Florida League team for the second year in a row. The Rollins commit ranked in the top five in the Florida League with 22 runs scored, and was one of only five players to score 20 or more runs and drive in 15 or more. The second-year River Rat also ranked among the Florida League's best with an on-base percentage of .474, and his career on-base percentage of .468 currently ranks second in League history for players with 150 or more at-bats.

SECOND BASE: Stewart Puckett (South Alabama)
Sanford River Rats
Puckett becomes the tenth player in Florida League history to be named an All-League selection three times. The third-year River Rat ranked second in the Florida League with 22 runs batted in, all while posting a batting average of .352. Puckett became Sanford's all-time leader in runs batted in during the season, and his 66 career RBIs ranks second in Florida League history, just six behind record-holder Joe Burke's 72.

SHORTSTOP: Mathew Farner (North Florida)
Orlando Snappers
In the 22-year history of the Florida League, no player with more than 150 career at-bats has reached base more than Mathew Farner. Across two FCSL seasons, Farner has reached base at a .489 clip, including a .473 mark during the 2025 season. Newly committed to the University of North Florida, Farner played a key role in the Snappers' run to the Whiting Cup, hitting .376 with 29 runs scored and 17 runs batted in. His 41 total hits led the Florida League, and his 18 stolen bases ranked second.

THIRD BASE: Grant Comeaux (Northwestern State)
Orlando Snappers
The Louisiana native proved to be one of the top all-around hitters in the Florida League. Comeaux hit .337 on the season, driving in 19 runs and scoring 17. He came up big in the playoffs, both with his glove and at the plate. Comeaux's final at-bat of the season was a big one, as the Northwestern State commit belted a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth of Game 2 of the Florida League Championship Series, helping the Snappers seal the title.

OUTFIELD: Blake Fields (Houston)
Orlando Snappers
The 2025 David Eckstein Sportsmanship Award winner had a summer to remember, winning a high school state title for The First Academy, being drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks, then leading the Orlando Snappers to a Florida League title. Fields finished third in the Florida League with a .387 batting average, driving in 13 runs and scoring 18 more for the league champions. He also proved to be one of the league's top defensive outfielders.

OUTFIELD: Charlie Keller (Ball State)
Leesburg Lightning
The Ball State commit was Leesburg's leader in both hits (31) and runs batted in (18) during the 2025 season, and ranked in the top five in the Florida League in hirs, doubles, walks, and home runs. Keller played a major role in extending Leesburg's season, going 2-for-3 with a home run in the Lightning's Game 2 victory over the Orlando Snappers in what would prove to be the final game of the season at Pat Thomas Stadium.

OUTFIELD: Dawson Mock (South Florida)
Sanford River Rats
The 2025 Florida League Player of the Year did it all for the Sanford River Rats. Mock set the Florida League record with 36 stolen bases, and also ranked in the top five all-time in walks drawn. Mock finished second in the league in batting average with a .405 mark, and his 34 runs scored were the second-most by a Sanford player in franchise history. Mock led the FCSL in both on base percentage and OPS, and finished second in slugging percentage.

EXTRA HITTER: Braden Calise (UCF)
Sanford River Rats
Returning for his second summer in the Florida League, Calise again proved to be one of the league's best. The UCF captain was the FCSL batting champion with a .408 mark, and was one of five players in the league - all of whom are First Team selections - to finish with an OPS above 1.000. Calise scored 20 runs and drove in 12, leading the Sanford River Rats to the best regular season record in Florida League history. 

EXTRA HITTER: Marco Mueses (Texas Southern)
Leesburg Lightning
Mueses was one of the leaders for the Leesburg Lightning, leading the Lightning to a top-three finish for the sixth year in a row. The Texas Southern commit led all Lightning players with a .318 batting average, and reached base at a .458 clip, all while scoring 16 runs and driving in another 11. Mueses' efforts, especially in the first portion of the season, earned him a starting nod in left field in the 2025 Florida League All-Star Game. 

EXTRA HITTER: Gavin Thomas (Davidson)
DeLand Suns
The second-year Sun had one of the most powerful seasons in franchise history. Thomas led the Florida League with six home runs, a total that ranks second in DeLand history. His 26 runs batted in also led the Florida League, and were the most by a DeLand player since Mark Townsend's MVP season of 2019. The Davidson Wildcat was one of just seven Florida League players with a slugging percentage above .500, finishing the season with a mark of .534.

UTILITY: Dawson Harman (South Carolina)
Sanford River Rats
Harman, who started the summer by committing to the University of South Carolina, showed why he was a highly-sought after recruit in his 21 games with the Sanford River Rats. Harman drove in 20 runs, good for fourth in the Florida League, and ranked in the top five in both slugging percentage and OPS. Seven of Harman's 25 hits on the season went for extra bases, including two home runs and a league-best three triples.

STARTING PITCHER: Billy Batson (Rollins)
Orlando Snappers
No starting pitcher was tougher to hit during the 2025 season than Billy Batson. The New Smyrna Beach native led all qualifying pitchers with a .143 batting average against, allowing just ten hits in 20.1 innings of work. Batson struck out 18 hitters in those 20.1 innings, making four starts and two relief appearances for the Florida League champions. Barson allowed more than one run just once, and earned selection to the 2025 Florida League All-Star Game.

Sanford River Rats
The 2025 Florida League Pitcher of the Year struck out 36 hitters in 25 innings, all while surrendering just 16 hits.

STARTING PITCHER: Trey Clinton (Georgia SouthWestern)
Sanford River Rats
Trey Clinton was another stellar piece of head coach Jesse Litsch's starting rotation, finishing the summer with a 1.89 earned run average across 19 innings of work.

RELIEF PITCHER: Brady Appel (Tallahassee State)
Sanford River Rats

Sanford River Rats
The 2025 Florida League Reliever of the Year led the Florida League with six saves, and allowed just one earned run across 11.1 innings of work.

RELIEF PITCHER: Jonny Sosnowski (Lake Sumter State)
Sanford River Rats
Like Appel, Sosnowski ended the regular season with an earned run average of 0.00.

RELIEF PITCHER: Blake Tipmore (Rollins)
