2014 PG College All-Americans

Kendall Rogers

OMAHA, Neb. -- It's always important to reward consistency in college baseball, and we feel like we've done that with the release of the 2014 Perfect Game College All-Americans.

The three All-America teams are filled with players who began the season with incredibly high expectations, and of course, those who stepped up when their respective teams needed them the most.

Astonishingly, six players who began the season as Preseason First Team All-Americans finished the year as First Team All-Americans, including Indiana's Kyle Schwarber, North Carolina State's Trea Turner, Oregon State's Michael Conforto, San Francisco's Bradley Zimmer, LSU's Aaron Nola and Louisville's Nick Burdi.

Indiana's Sam Travis and Virginia's Nick Howard were first-team selections in the preseason, and are Second Team All-Americans to end the year.

Overall, Indiana leads all teams with four All-Americans, while Louisiana-Lafayette, Oregon State, Virginia and TCU each have three, with Vanderbilt, San Diego State, Louisville and Ole Miss each coming in with two selections.

Presenting the prestigious Perfect Game All-Americans:

 

C Max Pentecost
School: Kennesaw State             
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 190
Hometown.: Winder, Ga.
High school: Winder-Barrow
Pentecost was one of the more versatile players in the country this season, hitting over .400, smacking nine homers and knocked in 61 runs. In addition to his offensive skills, Pentecost was a quality defensive catcher and had elite athleticism.
1B Casey Gillaspie
School: Wichita State           
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 238
Hometown.: Omaha, Neb.          
High school: Millard North
Gillaspie was one of the best pure hitters in college baseball this season. In addition to hitting for a great average, hitting 15 homers and knocking in 50 runs, he finished the season with 30 more walks than strikeouts. Just a terrific overall hitter.
2B Jace Conrad
School: Louisiana-Lafayette            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 195
Hometown.: Lafayette, La.            
High school: Lafayette
Conrad was truly a do-it-all type of player for the Ragin' Cajuns. In addition to his leadership role, Conrad hit .364 with nine homers and 65 RBIs, was versatile on the base paths and was a steady defender with a fielding percentage of .990.
SS Trea Turner
School: North Carolina State           
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 171
Hometown.: Lake Worth, Fla.
High school: Park Vista
Though the Wolfpack didn't have a great season, the same can't be said for Turner, who was a consistent force for N.C. State. Turner hit for a solid average, showed good power and finished the year 26-for-30 in stolen bases.
3B Dustin DeMuth
School: Indiana             
Cl.: Senior Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 215             
Hometown.: LaPorte, Ind.             
High school: LaPorte
DeMuth was a terrific player during his career with the Hoosiers. He led the club in hitting this season with a .374 batting average, while also tying for the team lead in doubles with 16. DeMuth was a consistent player who helped guide IU.
OF Michael Conforto
School: Oregon State           
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 217             
Hometown.: Woodinville, Wash.
High school: Redmond
Conforto once again established himself as an elite overall player this season. In addition to hitting .345 and displaying good power, he showed great plate discipline with 55 walks. Conforto also flashed an elite arm in the outfield.
OF Caleb Adams
School: Louisiana-Lafayette            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 185             
Hometown.: Texarkana, Texas
High school: Texas
We really loved the skills that Adams brought to the field each day this season. Adams hit .381 for the Ragin' Cajuns, displayed great power and showed in the NCAA postseason he can execute the small ball game well, too. Adams ended the year with a .502 OBP.
OF Bradley Zimmer
School: San Francisco             
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-5 Wt.: 205
Hometown.: La Jolla, Calif.
High school: La Jolla
Zimmer's status as an elite prospect was discussed thoroughly throughout the spring, but he also tallied impressive numbers. The ultra-athletic Zimmer finished the spring with 21 stolen bases, led the team in hitting and also hit for some power.
DH Kyle Schwarber
School: Indiana          
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 240           
Hometown.: Middletown, Ohio
High school: Middletown
Just like his sophomore campaign last year, Schwarber was one of the nation's elite pure hitters again this season. He hit .358 with 14 homers and ended the year with an impressive 44 walks. Schwarber capped off a great career in style.
UT A.J. Reed
School: Kentucky         
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 240             
Hometown.: Terre Haute, Ind.
High school: Terre Haute South
Reed was a terrific dual-threat player for the Wildcats this season. In addition to leading the team with 23 homers and 73 RBIs, Reed also led the pitching staff with a 2.09 ERA in 112 innings. Reed was clearly the nation's best overall player.
SP Aaron Nola
School: Louisiana State             
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 196 
Hometown.: Baton Rouge, La.   
High school: Catholic
Nola clearly was the top overall pitcher in college baseball this season. He possesses an electric three-pitch mix and tallied terrific numbers. He had a 1.47 ERA in 116 1/3 innings, along with 134 strikeouts and 27 walks. He held opposing teams to a .172 batting average.
SP Nathan Kirby
School: Virginia            
Cl.: Sophomore Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 185 
Hometown.: Midlothian, Va.
High school: James River
After a typical type of freshman campaign, the talented lefthanded pitcher took a huge step forward as a sophomore, tallying a 1.73 ERA in 104 innings, along with 104 strikeouts and 25 walks. Teams hit the lefty at just a .182 clip this season. Kirby has big-time stuff with a fastball up to 94.
SP Andrew Morales
School: UC Irvine            
Cl.: Senior Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 195 
Hometown.: Covina, Calif.
High school: South Hills
The outstanding righthanded pitcher had a campaign that ended with not only a CWS appearance, but also as a second-round pick to the Cardinals. Morales was Mr. Cool for the Anteaters, tallying a 1.53 ERA in 135 2/3 innings along with 141 strikeouts, 33 walks and a .185 BAA.
SP Kyle Freeland
School: Evansville            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 170
Hometown.: Denver 
High school: Jefferson
Freeland followed up a very strong summer with an even better spring for the Purple Aces, evolving into one of the nation's elite prospects and pitchers. Freeland had a 1.90 ERA in 99 2/3 innings, along with 128 strikeouts and 13 walks and a .214 BAA. Freeland simply was dominant for UE.
RP Jacob Lindgren
School: Mississippi State            
Cl.: Junior Ht.: 5-11 Wt.: 203
Hometown.: Bay St. Louis, Miss.
High school: St. Stanislaus
Lindgren established himself as one of the most versatile and consistent relievers in the country this season.

RP Nick Burdi

Hometown.: Downers Grove, Ill.
High school: Downers Grove South

College Top 25: April 6

With another week in the books, some teams at the top continue to prove they are elite, and others continue to fall by the wayside.  Meanwhile, there were several teams that had been lingering outside the Top 25 that had huge weekends to put themselves in the thick of things as every weekend has significant consequences for good or for bad.  The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (29-2) have now pushed their win streak to an incredible 23-games as they swept USC (27-6) who was previously ranked No. 7 in the poll.  The Bruins are off to a perfect (15-0) start in Big Ten play and are without a doubt the most complete team in the country right now.  The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (26-5) move up to No. 2 this week after they dismantled now No. 12 Auburn (22-9) in the midweek and then swept Cal on the West Coast last weekend.  Texas (26-5) moves down one spot to No. 3 this week after...

Welcome to another Perfect Game Mock Draft. This is not your typical mock draft as it features 15 different GMs drafting the first two rounds of the draft. Each member of the mock draft was assigned two teams and as such will be drafting all of the picks in the first two rounds for each responsible team. The actual draft order will be presented below and we will dive into how teams made their selections and how they feel about the players drafted. It is important to note that this is not how we think the draft will play out in almost any capacity. This is simply an exercise 4 months ahead of time with a large portion of the scouting staff and some picks fall under personal favorites, best available, and a multitude of other factors.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...
