Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles baseball team are ready to take on the New York Yankees in a spring exhibition game.

For the Seminoles, the game is a break from their regular season, in which they are 6-0 and ranked second in the nation. For the Yankees, it is their first live game action of the spring.

"I think I'm going to be a little starstruck," Winston told ESPN.

The Heisman Trophy winning quarterback who led the Seminoles to an undefeated season and National Championship victory also said the Yankees are his favorite team. if Winston, who is the baseball team's closer, does get to pitch, it will not be to Derek Jeter or any of the new high-priced additions.

According to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, the Yankees' starting lineup is as follows:

Brett Gardner, CF

Francisco Cervelli, C

Kelly Johnson, 3B

Russ Canzler, 1B

Zoilo Almonte, LF

Brendan Ryan, SS

Adonis Garcia, RF

Yangervis Solarte, 2B

John Ryan Murphy, DH

For the Seminoles:

Josh Delph, DH

Justin Gonzalez, SS

DJ Stewart, LF

Brett Knief, RF

John Nogowski, 1B

Jose Brizuela, 3B

John Sansone, 2B

Ben DeLuzio, CF

Danny De La Calle, C

Yankees' left hander Vidal Nuno will start against the Seminole's righty Mike Compton. The Yankees have other young arms scheduled to pitch in the game, but it is unclear how the Seminoles will utilize their bullpen.

Both Hall Of Fame closer Goose Gossage and Yankee manager Joe Girardi are hoping to Winston pitch in the game.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him," Gossage told ESPN.

"It'll be fun," Girardi told MLB.com. "Obviously, he's extremely athletic. When you watch him play the game of football, he's got a great arm."

Winston may also enter the game as a pinch hitter and play in the outfield. The Heisman winning QB wants to play professional football and baseball.
