HighSchoolOT has released its third-annual all-state baseball team, which features the best players across all state associations.

There are 25 players each on the first, second, and third team, each with minimum requirements of at least two catchers, eight infielders, four outfielders, seven pitchers/two-way players plus an additional four spots on each team, allowing more players of one of these positions to make team (ex: three catchers, or nine pitchers, etc.). There are also 50 honorable mention spots — double that of one of the first three teams — that have no position requirements.

HighSchoolOT's final statewide and area code rankings for baseball

In all, there were 19 players making the team for a second time: Asheboro's Tanner Marsh, Wayne Country Day's Everett Johnson, Kings Mountain's Zane Brockman, East Rowan's Cobb Hightower, Providence's Luke Wolff, Lee County's Dylan Kelly, Garner's Jaxon Lucas, J.H. Rose's Perry Eveleth, Wake Forest's Cooper Allen and Luke Stevenson, Morehead's Anderson Nance, North Lenoir's Luke Cannon, West Forsyth's Harrison Lewis, New Hanover's Bromley Thornton, West Henderson's Truitt Manuel, Burns' Ben Mauney, South Rowan's Haiden Leffew, Orange's Ryan Hench, and East Rowan's Chance Mako.

Six players became three-time selections: South Brunswick's Walker Jenkins, Randleman's Hunter Atkins, Pinecrest's Colby Wallace, Grace Christian of Sanford's Brandon Crabtree, Northwest Guilford's Bristol Carter, and East Surry's Folger Boaz.

Hightower and Wallace are two-time first teamers while Jenkins, the 5th overall pick in the MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins, is the lone three-time first team selections.

Each player is listed below with their stats and college commitments (if applicable). Positions were determined by coach nominations or related websites.

Pitchers who made the team due to their bat and arm are noted with "TWP" for "two-way player" next to their name.
