GREENSBORO, N.C. – Four of Indiana's best players were recognized by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) on Tuesday (June 10) morning. The organization released its First Team and Second Team honorees each of the eight regions across the country.
IU, members of the ABCA's Midwest Region, was well represented among the area's best players. Junior outfielder Devin Taylor and redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson were each recognized as First Team selections by the ABCA. Taylor, who made the First Team in back-to-back years, was an All-Region selection in all three years during his career in Bloomington.
Dickerson and Taylor combined to form one of the most formidable duos in the country this season. The pair of outfielders provided 37 home runs and 143 RBIs in the middle of IU's order. Both players were First Team All-Big Ten members and will now advance to the ballot for All-American consideration.
All players from each region's First Team will move forward in the voting process to be considered on the All-American teams. Taylor was voted an ABCA Third Team All-American last season and is looking to become the first repeat ABCA All-American for IU since Kyle Schwarber (2013, 2014).
Freshman first baseman Jake Hanley and graduate student pitcher Cole Gilley were each named Second Team All-Midwest Region selections by the area coaches. Hanley – the 2025 Big Ten Freshman of the Year – started all 56 games in a prolific freshman campaign. He provided 73 hits, 14 home runs and 52 RBIs.
Gilley became IU's best pitcher during the season and ended the year with a 10-3 record and a 3.54 ERA. He had 75 strikeouts to just 20 walks. Hanley, in addition to his Second Team All-Region honors, was named the best defensive first baseman in the Midwest. He was named as the region's Gold Glove honoree and advances in the national voting to win the ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove at his position.
ABCA All-American teams are set to be released on Friday, June 13th as the Men's College World Series gets underway in Omaha. Gold Glove finalists will be announced on Monday, June 16th.
