    They've had a pretty impressive baseball history other than winning a title. If Omaha was truly about the best team they would've won in 85 with Palmeiro and Will Clark.

    Yes. We have individual NCAA championships but no team sport championship. Baseball has always been a good program but we all know how hard it is to win it all. The other programs have traditionally been down until the last 15 years. I remember when we played UCLA in baseball several years ago in Omaha. They were showing us chasing our first and UCLA had like 110 championships.

    Baseball is stupid, our 2016 team with 6 MLB players so far (at least 2 more will get there) went 2 and bbq in Omaha. For that era MSU 85 has to be the best team to not win one but I'm sure there were loaded FSU teams as well who never got over the hump.

    There’s this weird thing SEC people do where you act like sports started when Florida got good at football and LSU at baseball.

    Player Of The Year Kevin Kopps Leads D1Baseball All-Americans
    AWARDS D1 Baseball Staff - June 28, 2021


    Arkansas closer Kevin Kopps is the D1Baseball Player of the Year, headlining our 2021 All-America teams.

    Kopps was a revelation as a sixth-year senior closer for the Razorbacks. After posting an 8.18 ERA in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, Kopps returned to Fayetteville for one final go-round and posted a season for the ages, going 12-1, 0.90 with 11 saves and a dazzling 131-18 K-BB mark in 89.2 innings as the Arkansas stopper. Thanks in large part to his signature cutter — the most dominant pitch in college baseball this season — Kopps held opponents to a .162 batting average. Even working out of the bullpen, the rubber-armed Kopps threw enough innings to qualify for the national ERA title, which he won by 0.39 runs, despite facing the best competition college baseball has to offer (Arkansas faced the toughest schedule in the nation). He was the most important player for a team that won every weekend of the regular season and entered the postseason as the No. 1 national seed.

    CWS Finalists Vanderbilt and Mississippi State each placed two players on the All-America First Team, as did East Carolina. Vandy pitchers Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter both lived up to their first-team preseason All-America billing and landed on the postseason team as well. SEC Player of the Year Tanner Allen and closer Landon Sims represent Mississippi State on the first team. And East Carolina placed second baseman Connor Norby and pitcher Gavin Williams on the first team.

    Vanderbilt and NC State are tied for the most total All-Americans with three apiece. Third-team outfielder Enrique Bradfield joins Rocker and Leiter in the Vandy contingent. NC State is represented by second-team outfielder Jonny Butler, third-team outfielder Tyler McDonough, and third-team reliever Evan Justice.

    Other teams with multiple All-Americans include Florida State and Notre Dame out of the ACC; Ole Miss and LSU out of the SEC; Stanford and Arizona out of the Pac-12; and Wright State out of the Horizon. The SEC leads all conferences with 12 All-Americans, followed by the ACC (10), Pac-12 (six), and Conference USA (four).

    D1Baseball editors and national writers determined the All-America teams based on performance in the regular season and postseason, factoring in quality of competition.
