2023 college baseball preseason All-American picks from D1Baseball

Save yourself a click:

For the second year in a row, top-ranked LSU leads all programs with three players on the All-America first team. The only two repeat members of the first team are both part of the LSU contingent: outfielder Dylan Crews and two-way talent Paul Skenes (a transfer from Air Force). Another transfer, Tommy White from NC State, is LSU’s third member of the first-team, at the DH spot.

I'm a little surprised T. Morgan isn't even 3rd team. Him and Hurd hopefully are on it by the end of the season along with a freshman AA or two.

At first glance, my biased opinion is that Tre got gipped. After looking at the stats from last year, I will say they got it right for preseason AA's but expect T. Morgan to be on the list at the end of the year. If I remember correctly, Morgan played a good bit of last year with a knee injury. Either way, last years stats for those interested:

Nick Kurtz (2022-TF)
- 54 games played
- .338 BA (15 HR, 56 RBI, 38 SO)
- .992 Fld. Pct. (457 Putouts, 27 Assists, 4 Errors)

Carter Graham (2022-So.)
- 64 games played
- .331 BA (22 HR, 79 RBI, 55 SO)
- .989 Fld. Pct. (426 Putouts, 24 Assists, 5 Errors)

CJ Kayfus (2022-So.)
- 60 games played
- .366 BA (8 HR, 51 RBI, 36 SO)
- .993 Fld Pct. (405 Putouts, 23 Assists, 3 Errors)

Tre' Morgan (2022- So.)
- 62 games played
- .324 BA (5 HR, 54 RBI, 26 SO)
- .990 Fld. Pct. (381 Putouts, 26 Assists, 4 Errors)

When comparing all 4, Tre' had:
-lowest BA;
-Least amount of HR;
-3rd lowest RBI #'s;
-least amount of SO's (in this case, lowest amount is best);
-3rd highest Fld. Pct.;
-lowest putouts;
-2nd in Assists;
-Tied for 2nd in least amount of Errors.
