TUCSON, Ariz. — An all-star lineup of high school players headline the 2015 Louisville Slugger Pre-Season High School All-American baseball team.
The players on this list represent not only amazing athletic ability and talent in their respective positions, but they also are among the most sought after players by pro scouts and college recruiters.
The majority of the players have committed to a college and most have received national recognition already. Many were players of the year in their league, region or state and have racked up a number of awards. They were nominated for the honor by their high school coach.
For the 19th straight year, Louisville Slugger is sponsoring the High School All-America team. The staff of Collegiate Baseball newspaper selects the team.
