2021 D1Baseball Second-Team Preseason All-Americans
Season Preview
SEE ALSO: 2021 D1Baseball Third-Team Preseason All-Americans
D1Baseball’s editors and national writers select the preseason All-America teams with one guiding principle in mind: to identify the best and most valuable college baseball players for the 2021 season. Past performance and future potential factor into the deliberations, but the goal is neither to identify the best future major leaguers nor to reward the players who have put up the gaudiest numbers in past seasons (particularly since the level of competition varies significantly from one conference to another). The objective is to select the players who would provide the most value for a team that wanted to win the College World Series in 2021 — the players who are best equipped to perform against elite college competition this spring.
The preseason All-America second team features two different pairs of teammates: Louisville third baseman Alex Binelas and outfielder Levi Usher, and Florida pitchers Tommy Mace and Hunter Barco. Check back later today to see who made the first team.
