Ruben Someillan, a former standout for Jacksonville, has joined the Nova Southeastern Baseball Coaching staff as a Volunteer Assistant Coach, announces Head Coach Laz Gutierrez.
"I'm excited about the addition of Ruben to our coaching staff and program," stated Gutierrez. "His passion and excitement for baseball is infectious. He was a very successful collegiate student-athlete whose game was predicated on fundamentals and energy. I look forward to our players learning from Ruben."
Someillan comes to NSU following a five-year career at Jacksonville, leaving the Dolphins among the program's all-time leaderboard in games played (239), at-bats (863), and leads in hit-by-pitches (33). During his redshirt-senior season in 2021, Someillan started all 50-games for JU, setting a program record of reaching base safely in 49 consecutive games. He hit 0.293, with six doubles, two home runs, and added 19 RBI, leading the club with 18 multi-hit games and three-hit games (5).
In the shortened 2020 season, Someillan started all 18 games for JU, tallying five mult-hit games, finishing second on the team in at-bats (63), and played error-free baseball the entire season. During the 2019 campaign, Someillan once again started each game for the Dolphins without making an error.
Someillan capped off the 2018 season with ASUN All-Tournament Team, going 5-14 with four runs scored and recorded six RBI in the ASUN Conference Tournament. In his freshman season, Someillan was named to the ASUN All-Freshman Team, starting 42 games, while batting 0.310 with 48-hits, driving in 15 and scoring 23 runs.
