Ranking The Top 50 Names In College Baseball

Posted May 15, 2018
I took it upon myself to gather and rank the 50 most impressive names in all of college baseball. It wasn't easy. Unlike other BA rankings, these rankings don't reflect players' skills, tools or stats—just names. There are hundreds of gems across the country, but these 50 stand out above the rest. 30. Satchel Jerzembeck, UNC; 42. Dallas Tessar, UNC. (Baseball America)
