College Baseball All-America Team
College Baseball All-America teams are selected each year by various organizations and consist of players who compete in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) intercollegiate baseball. In general, an All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit, the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media or other organizations.
Currently, several organizations select their own individual, college baseball, All-America teams. Many of them will select a first, second, and third team, sometimes including honorable mentions, but only the "First Team" is considered to be a true All-American.
There is no "official" list of which are the most relevant All-American selectors, but the following are the most often cited by schools and conferences:
