Collegiate Baseball selects All-American, Freshman All-American and High School All-American teams.[3] Baseball America selects pre-season and post-season All-American teams and College Player of the Year honorees.[4][5]

Various organizations selected All-American lists of the best players for the 1992 NCAA Division I college baseball season. The ABCA, the magazine Baseball America, and Collegiate Baseball were the NCAA-sanctioned selectors.[6] This list only includes players selected to the post-season All-American first team for each selector. However, many All-American selections choose second, third, etc. teams from the remaining eligible candidates.

Accomplishments

Brooks Kieschnick, Phil Nevin and Lloyd Peever were named player of the year by ABCA, BA and CB, respectively. Jason Varitek was honored by all three selectors with selections on the 1993 and 1994 teams and would be player of the year in 1994. Darren Dreifort repeated as a 1993 selection. Kieschnick was both a 1991 and 1993 selection and became repeat player of the year in 1993.[6] Kieschnich won the Dick Howser Trophy in 1992 & 1993 and Varitek won it in 1994.[7] Nevin won the 1992 College World Series Most Outstanding Player[8] Dreifort won the 1993 Rotary Smith Award, and Varitek won the award in 1994.[7] Nevin won the 1992 Golden Spikes Award, and he was succeeded by Dreifort and Varitek in 1993 and 1994, respectively.[9]
