    BA's AA teams

    First Team


    C Henry Davis, Louisville 3Y So.
    .370 | .482 | .663 | 184 AB | 45 R | 68 H | 15 HR | 48 RBI | 31 BB | 24 K | 10 SB

    After showing flashes as a freshman and then breaking out in 2020 before the season was canceled, Davis put it all together in 2021. He’s among the ACC leaders in just about every offensive category while also serving as a quality defensive catcher with a rifle arm.

    1B Niko Kavadas, Notre Dame 4Y Jr.
    .302 | .473 | .767 | 159 AB | 42 R | 48 H | 22 HR | 64 RBI | 50 BB | 55 K | 2 SB

    Kavadas enjoyed a monster season as a fourth-year player at Notre Dame and has as much to do with the Irish’s breakthrough season as any player on the roster. A more complete hitter than he’s been in the past, Kavadas set a career-high for walks while not sacrificing any power. His 22 home runs are good for third nationally.

    2B Connor Norby, East Carolina, 3Y So.
    .415 | .484 | .659 | 246 AB | 64 R | 102 H | 15 HR | 51 RBI | 33 BB | 34 K | 18 SB

    After hitting just .194 as a freshman in 2019, Norby became one of the best hitters in all of college baseball just two years later. He led the American Athletic Conference in average and on-base percentage this season, while also making a big jump in power. After hitting two home runs in his first two seasons, he hit 15 in 2021.

    3B Hunter Wells, Louisiana Tech, 5Y Sr.
    .385 | .456 | .645 | 262 AB | 70 R | 101 H | 14 HR | 61 RBI | 34 BB | 37 K | 1 SB

    Wells shined brightest in a Louisiana Tech lineup full of productive veterans, helping earn the Bulldogs a spot as a regional host for the first time. He is among the conference leaders in a number of offensive categories, including leading Conference USA in hitting. At the time his season ended, he was also the national leader in hits.

    SS Trey Sweeney, Eastern Illinois, 3Y So.
    .382 | .522 | .712 | 170 AB | 52 R | 65 H | 14 HR | 58 RBI | 46 BB | 24 K | 3 SB

    Sweeney carried momentum from a strong summer in the Coastal Plain League into his third season at EIU, which was a breakout campaign for the shortstop. He tapped into his power in a big way for the first time in his career and became a much better all-around hitter on the way to setting career highs in every offensive category.

    OF Tanner Allen, Mississippi State, 4Y Jr.
    .392 | .463 | .634 | 232 AB | 64 R | 91 H | 10 HR | 62 RBI | 22 BB | 30 K | 9 SB

    The SEC player of the year, Allen took steps forward in many ways in 2021, setting a career high in all three slash line categories at .392/.463/.634, in home runs with 10 and in stolen bases with nine after stealing just one total in his first three seasons.

    OF Colton Cowser, Sam Houston State, 3Y So.
    .374 | .490 | .680 | 203 AB | 61 R | 76 H | 16 HR | 52 RBI | 42 BB | 32 K | 17 SB

    One of just three players to be a first team All-American in the preseason and postseason in 2021, Cowser had a huge year even as he was the clear focal point of the Sam Houston State lineup going into the season. A multi-faceted offensive weapon, Cowser had his best season in terms of both home runs (16) and stolen bases (17).

    OF Aaron Zavala, Oregon, 3Y So.
    .392 | .525 | .628 | 199 AB | 64 R | 78 H | 9 HR | 38 RBI | 50 BB | 31 K | 11 SB

    The centerpiece of the lineup for a resurgent Oregon team, Zavala showed excellent plate discipline with 50 walks compared to 31 strikeouts while hitting .392 overall and .380 in Pac-12 play. He also made a huge jump in his power numbers with nine home runs this season after hitting just one in his first 58 career games.

    DH Mat Nelson, Florida State, 3Y So.
    .336 | .436 | .773 | 194 AB | 50 R | 64 H | 23 HR | 66 RBI | 31 BB | 58 K | 4 SB

    Though he got squeezed out at the catcher position on this team due to the season Henry Davis put together, Nelson had a big campaign as FSU’s backstop. He was among the national leaders in home runs all season long and served as the linchpin of a Seminoles’ lineup that badly needed one.

    SP Jack Leiter, Vanderbilt, 2Y Fr.
    10-3 | 2.16 ERA | 16 G | 1 CG | 0 SV | 96 IP | 41 H | 41 BB | 156 K | .127 AVG

    Part of the most dominant one-two punch in college baseball, Leiter picked up where he left off during the shortened 2020 season, and over the first half of the season, which included a no-hitter on March 20 against South Carolina, there was no more dominant pitcher in all of college baseball.

    SP Doug Nikhazy, Mississippi, 3Y So.

    12-2 | 2.45 ERA | 16 G | 1 CG | 0 SV | 92 IP | 62 H | 31 BB | 142 K | .186 AVG

    Nikhazy earned his place among the nation’s elite starting pitchers with his performance in 2021. He’s always been effective, but he became dominant this season, striking out 142 batters and counting after striking out 86 back in 2019.

    SP Kumar Rocker, Vanderbilt, 3Y So.

    13-3 | 2.46 ERA | 17 G | 1 CG | 0 SV | 106 IP | 59 H | 36 BB | 155 K | .157 AVG

    For the third year in a row, Rocker was among college baseball’s most dominant pitchers, and in his third year, his numbers were up across the board from where they were during his last full season in 2019. He and Leiter spent all season near the top of the national strikeout leaderboard.

    SP Gavin Williams, East Carolina, 4Y Jr.

    10-1 | 1.88 ERA | 15 G | 1 CG | 1 SV | 81.1 IP | 57 H | 21 BB | 130 K | .193 AVG

    After dealing with inconsistency and injuries throughout the first three years of his East Carolina career, Williams came into his own as a dominant force in year four. He wasn’t in the rotation initially this season, which limited his innings a bit, but on a rate basis, particularly with his 14.39 strikeouts per nine innings, he’s as good as anyone.

    RP Kevin Kopps, Arkansas, 6Y Sr.

    12-1 | 0.90 ERA | 33 G | 0 CG | 11 SV | 89.2 IP | 50 H | 18 BB | 131 K | .162 AVG

    Kopps has been, frankly, college baseball’s best pitcher in 2021. A true Swiss Army knife, he is a reliever in name only, given his 12 victories, his nearly 90 innings pitched and his strikeout total, which is among the national leaders.

    RP Landon Sims, Mississippi State, 2Y Fr.

    4-0 | 1.55 ERA | 21 G | 0 CG | 10 SV | 46.1 IP | 25 H | 14 BB | 85 K | .154 AVG

    Sims has been dominant in every way out of the Mississippi State bullpen. Batters are hitting just .154 against him with very little power, as he didn’t allow a home run until super regionals, and his strikeout rate is 16.5 per nine innings.

    UT Paul Skenes, Air Force, Fr.

    .410 | .486 | .697 | 188 AB | 49 R | 77 H | 11 HR | 43 RBI | 22 BB | 45 K | 0 SB

    1-1 | 2.70 ERA | 18 G | 0 CG | 11 SV | 26.2 IP | 20 H | 9 BB | 30 K | .208 AVG

    The only player in the country to have double-digit home runs and double-digit saves, Skenes was an immediate star for Air Force as a freshman, leaning on his impressive power and a fastball that averaged 95 mph.

    they say the 2021 MLB Draft is short on impact college bats. Seems like a shit load of them are on the way the next few classes

    I just picked up an ounce of Sour Kush and 8 half-gram Super Lemon Haze live resin carts. Hopefully that will hold me over till a champ is crowned. TMB is the only setting in which I interact with people who are not kind to me. And that speaks to how lucky and privileged I am. But if you could cut out the only people in your life who treat you unkindly, wouldn't you do so? Definitely not the folks in this thread or the indie music/MLB threads. But for all the talk about how much the board has changed, and it has certainly changed, there are still some holdovers who just can't seem to be nice. That's a bummer
