Tyler Selesky has compiled a 3.33 cumulative GPA as a marketing major during his four years at FGCU and is a three-time member of the dean’s list for turning in a GPA of 3.5 or higher during the respective semesters (Fall 2012, Spring 2015, Fall 2015).

Character

Selesky serves as a senior leader on the 2016 FGCU baseball team and is looked upon by his teammates and coaching staff as such. As a kid who grew up in the Fort Myers area, his character paired with his athletic ability has made him a role model to many young student-athletes. Coach Tollett deems him as one of the hardest workers on the team both on and off the playing field and says he is one of the more enjoyable players he has coached. Selesky has aspirations of pursuing a career in the MLB, if not as a player, then as a member of the front office.

Community

Selesky has participated in more than 50 hours of community service during the grueling schedule that is college baseball. He volunteered at FGCU sanctioned events such as the Night at the Nest fundraiser and participated in a local community awareness event to talk to kids about balancing athletics and academics. He also has taken part in programs such as Read Across America and helped put on a high school baseball showcase in the area. A local product from Estero, Fla., Selesky travels to middle school and high schools in the area to participate in physical activities with the kids.
