Mitchell Wydetic

Mitchell Wydetic joined the Florida Southern College baseball staff under head coach Rick O’Dette in July 2024 after spending the last three seasons with O’Dette at Saint Leo University, working primarily with the infielders and assisting with hitting.

In his first season at Florida Southern, Wydetic helped FSC to a 38-15-1 overall record, including All-Sunshine State Conference winner Rohsean Riley at third base. Riley was also named All-defensive to the conference awards. By the end of 2025, the Mocs finished second in the SSC in overall standings, as well as one of the best in the nation for runs scored and base running. 
 
While at Saint Leo, Wydetic had a total of three All-South honorees and several All-SSC position players, including the program’s first All-American with Bobby Sparling in 2022. The Lions had 30+ wins in each of those three seasons and cracked the top 10 NCAA Division II poll on several occasions. While as the infield coach in 2022, SLU led the SSC in fielding percentage, and in 2024, the team set a new program record for fielding percentage.
 
Wydetic joined the Lions after two seasons at Saint Petersburg College as an assistant coach where he helped organize, schedule, and operate the daily practices while serving as the primary coach for the outfielders. He also served as the third base coach on game days, while helping coach Gabe Rincones, who was the 2021 Junior College Player of the Year and third round pick in the MLB Draft to the Philadelphia Phillies.
 
He is a 2019 graduate of the University of Florida where he served as the head student manager for the Gator baseball program from 2018-19. He would help coordinate game and practice procedures as well as help with away game travel necessities. Also helped execute prospect and summer camps to generate funds for the program.
 
Wydetic received his degree in political science with a minor in communications from the University of Florida while graduating cum laude.
