College Baseball Foundation announces fifth annual All-American Team
LUBBOCK, Texas – The College Baseball Foundation is proud to announce its fifth annual All-American team.
Thanks to the growth and success of the CBF’s three staple awards – the National Pitcher of the Year Award, the Brooks Wallace Award recognizing the top shortstop in the game, and the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award – the CBF is once again honoring the top players from 2024 with its All-American team.
These players brought great success and attention to themselves and their teams and have proven to be outstanding ambassadors for the college game.
Leading the way for this year’s team is Dick Howser Award and Golden Spikes Award winner Charlie Condon from Georgia as well as 2024 National Pitcher of the Year winner Hagen Smith of Arkansas. The team also features Brooks Wallace Award winner Griff O’Ferrall of Virginia and Olerud Award winner Jac Caglianone from Florida.
The players were chosen from voting done by the Foundation’s award committees.
