Louisiana Baseball Coaches Association All State Teams
Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the United States, and Louisiana has its fair share of talented players. Every year, the Louisiana Baseball Coaches Association selects the top players from around the state to be included in its All State Teams. These teams recognize the best players at each position, as well as pitchers and utility players.
The All State Teams
The All State Teams are divided into five categories: Class 1A, Class 2A, Class 3A, Class 4A, and Class 5A. Each team consists of nine players, including a pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and three outfielders. There is also a utility player selected for each team.
To be selected for the All State Teams, players must have demonstrated exceptional skill and talent on the field. Coaches from around the state nominate players, and a committee of coaches then reviews the nominations and selects the final teams.
