Really surprised Josh Smith didn't at least make second team


That's a pretty bad omission. His numbers almost match the 1st team selection.

Martin is an all offensive short stop, dude is a horrific defensive short stop. He had 20 errors this year and his fielding was barely over .900, Kessinger and Smith were way way way better defensively. I dont get that at all. Arkansas has some great hitters and he's one of them but Martin should in no way be 2nd team here at a defensive premium position.

Yeah for every error he made though he'd also make an incredible athletic play that not many shortstops can make. He's probably going to be a top 10 pick in next year's draft...rare combo of power and speed. Has 3 inside the park home runs this year.

These awards are always going to be slanted towards offense, same with basketball.
