The Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-American baseball teams and National Player of The Year were announced today by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.

•RHP Taylor Clarke, College of Charleston (Pitcher of Year Colonial Conference).

Arkansas’ Andrew Benintendi is Collegiate Baseball’s National Player Of The Year after a remarkable season. He hit .391 with 18 homers, 12 doubles and swiped 22 of 26 bases.
He is the first SEC Player of The Year in program history. Benintendi is one of only two players in the country with 15-plus home runs and 20-plus stolen bases and is on pace to become the third player in SEC history to finish the year as the league leader in home runs and batting average.
He currently leads the SEC in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and walks. If that wasn’t enough, he is only 8 RBIs shy of becoming the second Triple Crown winner in SEC history.
The first team features one pitcher with 152 strikeouts (Missouri State’s Matt Hall) and another with a 10-0 record (Alex Lange of LSU). Both closers (David Berg of UCLA and Tyler Jay of Illinois) put up monster numbers. Berg posted 12 saves and a 7-1 record with a 0.73 ERA. Jay was 5-1 with 13 saves and a 0.64 ERA.
The first team offense features remarkable power, line drive hitters and speed. Six hitters collected 16 or more doubles led by Chris Robinson of Morehead St. with 25. Alex Bregman of LSU had 32 stolen bases on the season to lead first teamers.

Bregman and Swanson should be 1A/1B at Shortstop on the first team. Amazing to have such premier talent all around the SEC

Surprised Anfernee Grier for AU didn't make 3rd team. He had a solid year just not a power hitter so no love

It feels like there's a curse with us and these awards. They tend to get mentally fricked after winning.
Let's hope not this time. Well deserved.

Draft eligible sophomores are the worst. He gone.

Saw somewhere he's considered a top 10 pick but one of the scout sites only has him as the #63 prospect or something.
Seemed weird but ya, he def. gone. Sucks for us but gotta reload.

Great player and only gonna get better, Congrats.

Hope he bounces back from a sub par...for him...performance in the SEC tourney and kicks arse in the Hawg's regional games. The SEC has always had a few really great players, but recently every team has at least one, if not two, great players. Both Ark & Fla had really great 3rd basemen, but neither made first team. So that's 3 great players from 3 different teams at one position. Same for SS. CF. Catching.
