Nova Southeastern, a Division 2 power in Florida has a pair of players heading into the MLB postseason this year looking to win the World Series.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The “almighty” Division I churns out more professional prospects on a year-to-year basis, but in 2018, Division II baseball has the right to puff its chest a bit as well, particularly at Nova Southeastern. In the midst of two standout seasons, including one worthy of MVP consideration, former Sharks J.D. Martinez and Mike Fiers are both back in the MLB postseason with their sights set on the World Series.
Nova Southeastern nearly placed three players in the playoffs, yet current St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher, and former teammate of Martinez and Fiers, Miles Mikolas watched his postseason chances fizzle out on the second to last day of the regular season. Despite falling just short of the postseason, Mikolas earned an All-Star selection in his return to the MLB following a three-year stint in Japan. The 30-year old tied for the National League lead in wins (18), and ranked fourth in the league in ERA (2.84).
