Julie Larsen-Baker was one of FSU's all-time greatest softball players and one of the finest athletes in school history. Larsen's power pitching style led the Lady Seminoles to their first ever top
twenty ranking in 1986. But for a player of Larsen's drive and determination a national ranking was not nearly enough. The following year she led Florida State to its first appearance in the fast
pitch College World Series. The California native had one of the most successful softball careers in Lady Seminole history and helped to launch Florida State into national prominence where it remains today. Larsen's career totals include a school record 834 strikeouts, 12 no hitters, 6 perfect games, and an amazing 50 shutouts. Following her standout athletic career at Florida State, Larsen married Seminole Assistant Baseball Coach Chip Baker in a memorable ceremony at home plate between games of a double-header on May 7, 1997 at Dick Howser Stadium.
