LOUISVILLE SLUGGER HIGH SCHOOL ALL-AMERICANS
TUCSON, Ariz. — The 2013 Louisville Slugger High School All-America team is loaded with amazing athletic achievements from elite baseball players across the USA.
This year’s team features 22 players who were chosen in the first two rounds, including compensation rounds, of the Major League First-Year Baseball Draft.
Leading the list of this year’s winners is RHP/INF Tyler Danish of Durant HS (Plant City, FL) who is the 2013 Louisville Slugger National High School Player of the Year.
Danish posted eye-popping stats this season both on the mound and at the plate to help his team get to the Florida 8A state championship finals where they fell to Lake Brantley (Altamonte Springs, FL).
Remarkably, Danish did not give up an earned run the entire season, posting a 15-1 record with 15 complete games, 156 strikeouts, 16 walks in 94 innings. At the plate, he was equally as dominate, batting .411 with 4 doubles, 9 home runs and 27 RBI. He also stole 9 bases.
Danish accomplished this in one of the toughest baseball districts in Florida, according to his coach Butch Valdes.
He was chosen in the second round of the draft by the White Sox.
This is the 17th year Louisville Slugger has sponsored the High School All-America teams. Players are nominated by their high school coach and the staff of Collegiate Baseball selects the team.
