Annual awards recognize the top Underclass athletes at the high school level

St. Louis, Mo. (March 20, 2024) – Rawlings and Perfect Game announced today its Preseason All-American Teams to recognize the top underclass high school baseball athletes in the U.S (Class of 2024, 2025, 2026).

The Rawlings-Perfect Game Preseason All American 1st, 2nd and 3rd team recognizes 300 players from the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Each team consists of 100 players who are currently juniors, sophomores, or freshmen in high school.

“To receive the Rawlings-Perfect Game Preseason All-American or All-Region Award is a tremendous achievement for these high school student-athletes,” said Rob Ponger, CEO of Perfect Game. “We are proud to recognize their talent as they prepare for their careers playing collegiate or professional baseball.”
