Cedar Rapids, IA. (March 17, 2009) – Perfect Game USA announced today its Preseason All-American Teams to recognize the top underclass high school baseball athletes in the U.S., while also showcasing their abilities to collegiate and professional scouts.
The Perfect Game Preseason All American 1st, 2nd and 3rd team recognizes 180 players from the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Each team consists of 60 players who are currently juniors or sophomores in high school. There is also an honorable mention list to identify other potential top underclassmen.
“To receive the Perfect Game Preseason All-American Award is a tremendous achievement for these high school athletes,” said Jerry Ford, President, Perfect Game USA. “We’re proud to recognize their talent as they prepare for their future in baseball.”
