PG College All-Americans

MORE: College Premium BlogSubscribe to CB Ticket

OMAHA, Neb. -- It has been a special college baseball season in more ways than one.

Whether highlighted by the inclusions of Stony Brook and Kent State in the College World Series or a program such as Arizona vying for its first national title since the 1980s, it truly has been a season to remember.

Of course, all these moments were made possible by the outstanding play of several players from all walks of life and across the country. Today, many of those players are named 2012 Perfect Game All-Americans.

The PG First Team All-Americans list has a strong State of Florida flavor with Florida and Florida State combining for five players on the team. Catcher Mike Zunino and utility player Brian Johnson lead the way for the Gators, while first baseman Jayce Boyd, outfielder James Ramsey and closer Robert Benincasa are the headliners for the Seminoles.

The PG Second Team is spearheaded by an outstanding quartet of starting pitchers in Stanford's Mark Appel, Missouri State's Nick Petree, Texas A&M's Michael Wacha and Duke's Marcus Stroman. Meanwhile, the Aggies placed also placed outfielder Tyler Naquin on the team.

The PG Third Team is led by the Baylor duo of catcher Josh Ludy and starting pitcher Josh Turley, while Arizona's Robert Refsnyder and Kent State's Jimmy Rider both used impressive play in Omaha as a final push to become an All-American.

The National Pitcher and Player of the Year awards will be released at the conclusion of the CWS. We also will release our annual Coach of the Year award in addition to the PG Freshman All-America teams.

2026 Staff Picks: College Edition

2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
