The Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association has released its 2013 All-State Team. There were two members of the team that were awarded this honor based on their status of being drafted by Major League Baseball. The other members were placed on the team based on the voting of the IHSBCA member coaches. Brian Abbott, All-State Chairman, would like to thank the committee members (Matt Cherry, Tim Terry, Jeff Closser, and Nathan Lester) for all their efforts with the process. A special thank you also goes to the coaches who voted this season. The turnout was excellent!
