Three seniors made the list in shortstop/relief pitcher Kyle Rooker, center fielder J.T. Francies and pitcher/catcher Jordan Berry. Junior Griffen Dahlstrom, who served as a pitcher, catcher and utility infielder, also made the grade.

Coach Troy Greenlee's Greencastle team finished third in the WCC at 7-5 and had three players on the team. These were senior shortstop Jeremy Hayden, junior pitcher/first baseman Kyle Nobles and junior pitcher Trey Ford.

South Putnam finished in a tie for fourth with a 6-6 WCC record. Coach Harold Campbell had three players on the list. Senior second baseman Adam Hammond, junior pitcher/first baseman Noah Boswell and sophomore shortstop Cameron Chestnut made the squad.
