Consensus "All-Americans"
For the names of consensus All-Americans, see footnote[7]
After the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper became – in 1991 – the third organization to begin selecting its own All-American teams (joining the ABCA and Baseball America), the concept arose of "consensus" All-American teams. From 1991 to 2000, a player is considered by some people to be a "consensus All-American" if he is named to an All-American team by two of the three organizations. In 2001, the NCBWA became the fourth organization to start naming its own teams. Therefore, since 2001, a player is considered by some people to be a consensus All-American if he is selected as an All-American by three of the four organizations.
