Florida State’s Fraser to Enter the Transfer Portal

Another key contributor from the Florida State baseball program has entered the transfer portal.

Infielder Gabe Fraser has decided to seek a baseball life elsewhere after one season in Tallahassee. He also played previously at Arkansas.

Fraser started 27 games for the Seminoles during this past season, and played three positions: third base, shortstop and second base. He follows catcher Hunter Carns into the portal, who announced his intention to transfer earlier in the week.

Fraser batted .303 for the Seminoles while displaying his versatility by playing three positions: third base, shortstop and second base. In addition, Fraser posted an OPS of .835 with one home run, 11 RBI and recorded a fielding percentage of .915 in his only season in the garnet and gold. He struck out 33 times.

During the season, Fraser recorded multiple hits against Pitt, Notre Dame and Michigan:

In the Tallahassee regional, Fraser contributed at the plate, recording four hits. He also added a home run and scored twice.

As a freshman at Arkansas in 2025, Fraser played 28 games and made 13 starts. Fraser batted .250 for the Razorbacks and collected 13 hits and one home run with 12 RBI. He also produced a double and a triple, scored 14 runs and walked six times.

Fraser was a top prospect out of high school in California, ranked as the 19th overall prospect and the No. 3 shortstop. Playing baseball runs in Fraser’s family, as his father Joe played at Cal State Fullerton in the mid-1990’s and won a national championship in 1995. He was later drafted by the Twins in the 27th round.

Fraser is the eighth Florida State player to enter the transfer portal since the Seminoles lost to St. John’s in their own regional and ended their season prematurely. It was the third consecutive season with 40 wins under coach Link Jarrett.

He joins infielders Charlie Buckles, Kelvyn Paulino Jr., Noah Sheffield, outfielder Chase Williams, and pitchers Jake Echols and Manny Lantigua as those seeking to continue their baseball journey elsewhere.

Fraser will have two years of collegiate eligibility left at his next school, his third in as many years. With his versatility as a utility player, Fraser should be an attractive target for schools needing a talented infielder.
