Based on the nominations from coaches and members of the Arizona high school baseball community, Sports360AZ introduces the 2018 Arizona All-Academic Baseball Team spotlighting the best the state has to offer both on the diamond and in the classroom.
A few notes on how the team was compiled: Sports360AZ reached out to every AIA high school baseball coach and athletic director in the state requesting nominations based on performance in the classroom. We also opened up nominations to parents and athletes as well. This is the only way to be named to the all-academic team.
After hundreds of nominations for the spring sports teams, we are excited to present the All-Academic Baseball Team!
