IU outfielder Devin Taylor is a unanimous All-American.
With the release of D1 Baseball’s All-American teams, Taylor was honored by every major outlet following his outstanding junior campaign.
Taylor becomes just the third player in program history to be named as a unanimous All-American. Kyle Schwarber and Dustin DeMuth were both awarded the same honor following IU’s 2014 campaign.
Next, Taylor will seek to become the highest-drafted player since Schwarber went fourth overall – 11 years ago. The 2025 MLB Draft begins Sunday, July 13.
The Cincinnati, Ohio native broke the IU career home run record during his junior season in Bloomington. He slugged at least 16 home runs in all three seasons and totaled 229 hits in 655 at-bats. He steadily improved his consistency during his college career, taking his batting average from .315 to .374 from his freshman to junior campaigns.
Taylor was honored as a first-team selection by Perfect Game, Baseball America and the College Baseball Foundation. He was a second-team pick by the ABCA, NCBWA and D1 Baseball. He collected eight All-American honors during his collegiate career and leaves as one of the most decorated Hoosiers of all-time.
On top of individual accolades, Taylor helped the Hoosiers to over 100 wins during his IU career. He made three Big Ten Tournaments and two NCAA Tournaments and led the program to seven postseason wins. Taylor is likely to become the highest-drafted player under head coach Jeff Mercer.
