Prior to the 2015 college baseball season, writers at College Baseball Daily picked three Preseason All-American Teams and today we are going to show how these players have fared thus far in 2015. With more than half of the season completed and the end of the year accolades approaching as well as the MLB amateur draft in June, we wanted to see how our Preseason First Team All-Americans were faring.
Next week we will do our second team and the following week we will do the third team.
Here are our College Baseball Daily Preseason All-American selections.
