FAMU baseball coach Shouppe confident heading into second season

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The bar for second-year head baseball coach Jamey Shouppe is already set pretty high.

During his first season, he coached the Rattlers to their first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament in three years. The team finished with a 26-26 overall record – FAMU’s first baseball season with more than 19 victories since 2009 – and brought down the No. 6-ranked Florida Gators along the way.

Shouppe wants more, and he made that clear during a meeting with the 220 Quarterback Club Wednesday afternoon.

“They thought I was a little bit crazy,” said Shouppe, whose team opens practice Friday.
