LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Another spring season of CIF High School baseball statewide has completed and the season was full of thrilling performances by both players and teams. Based on a season's worth of statistics, achievements, awards and records broken we at Prep Baseball California have received submissions/recommendations from high school coaches around the state to nominate their players for All-State recognition.
Our staff reviewed and discussed the submissions/recommendations made by the coaches throughout the state and selected a pair of All-State teams: First and Second, along with an All-Freshman team. For a player to make one of these teams, they had to be directly submitted or recommended to our staff via their coaching staff.
With over 300 submissions, this was arguably the most difficult process our staff has gone through to select these teams.
2026 SS, James Tronstein, of Harvard Westlake was announced as the California State Player of the Year. We also released our First Team All-State and Second Team All-State honorees.
Today, we announce our Freshman Team All-State honorees.
