BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The first of many All-American awards were handed out Tuesday (June 10) afternoon. Junior outfielder Devin Taylor was a repeat selection by Perfect Game on the All-American team, earning First Team honors as one of the best players in the country.
The Cincinnati, Ohio native was a dominant force at the top of the IU lineup, working a .374 batting average while leading the team in hits (80) and runs (63). He broke the program's home run record (54) this season and also became the first Hoosier with consecutive 80-hit seasons since Kyle Schwarber (2013-14).
It's the third All-American honor for Taylor in his illustrious career and certainly not the last. In 2024, the lefty was honored by Perfect Game (Second Team) and the NCBWA (Third Team) following a 20-home run campaign. He was also a Freshman All-American by two separate outlets in 2023.
Taylor is the third player in program history to earn First Team All-American honors by Perfect Game. The organization first began handing out honors in 2011. Schwarber repeated as a First Team selection in 2013 and 2014. He was joined in 2014 by his teammate Dustin DeMuth.
The program's all-time home run leader is a likely top-40 pick in this summer's MLB Draft and has completed the first step towards being a unanimous All-American. The remaining outlets, which includes the likes of ABCA and D1 Baseball, will release their teams as the month progresses.
