This week and next, Line Drive Media is recognizing standout high school players across the nation for the 2025-26 school year in our annual High School All-American lists.

These include athletes in states who play in the fall like Georgia, Colorado, Missouri and Oklahoma and those that compete in the spring into the summer.

Note: “Multi-Purpose” honorees are those that play multiple positions well or can pitch and hit at a high level (they’re sometimes called “utility” players).

Here is the schedule that includes 1^st & 2^nd Team All-Americans as well as the High School Player & Coach of the Year. Previously published articles are hyperlinked.

Those chosen have been selected based on criteria such as:

• accomplishments, stats and honors

• importance to the success of the team

• on-field abilities, skills and talent
• off-the-field resume, i.e., academic success, community involvement, etc.

Our list is deep and extensive as we feel it necessary to honor all those who deserve to be recognized as a Line Drive Media High School All-American!

Congrats to all those who made this year’s lists… today, we spotlight those who have multiple skills on the field, meaning they can play more than position well or may pitch and hit at a high level….
