It’s time to get going toward selection of the 36th annual Cal-Hi Sports all-state baseball teams. We begin with this post of all-state nominees from every CIF section. If someone is missing, don’t get mad, just let us know. This is our way of trying to make sure we’re choosing from a pool of players that’s as accurate as possible.
Note: This list is compiled so that coaches, parents and readers can submit additions, corrections and make comments about which players should be selected when all information is received. Nominations are always welcome. This list will be updated and posted one more time prior to the teams being finalized. The second list and additional all-state basetball content will be for Gold Club members only. Join our team today by CLICKING HERE.
What We’re Looking For: You can send a nomination with each athlete’s height, position, year in school, significant statistics. Comparing a player not on the board yet to one who already is can be very important toward eventual selection. Limit each nomination to one page please. Send to: markjtennis@gmail.com or call/text (209) 608-1317.
Look for details soon on exciting, new way for every stat star, player of the week and all-state player to be able to order their own highlight video. For videos already done, CLICK HERE.
Also, be aware that not all freshmen, sophomores or juniors we are considering for all-state underclass may be on this list. We also normally wind up choosing players who aren’t on this list for some of the smaller CIF divisions as well. These players will come to light when all of the various major newspaper-based honor squads are released.
Format: Thirty players will be chosen all-state overall first team with 30 more on second team plus additional lists. Each of the first 30 players are written up. There also are 30 players each for large schools, medium schools and small schools. The all-state underclass team will consist of juniors, sophomores and freshmen mixed together.
Pitchers Who Hit, Hitters Who Pitch: We have had as many as eight players out of 30 listed as multi-purpose on the various all-state baseball teams over the years. For this reason, it is very important to identify those pitchers who have hitting statistics or those hitters who have pitched. Please indicate in any nomination which positions a player played.
Info For Players Already On The List: Don’t assume we know all there is to know about a player on the list, either. Send us a nomination to make sure all facts are turned in and placed into our files.
Here are the nominations currently on our board for the various 2016 all-state baseball teams:

Aaron Fong from south hills was overlooked.
How could you not have Jack Cunningham or Cade Spurlin up for the for West Ranch. Cunningham threw a no hitter. Beat Hart 8ks, beat Valencia 8ks CG, closed Mater Dei, beat Norco 3-2 CG 4 hitter.
Spurlin best catcher in southern cal. No question
Cunningham threw 5 hit no hit ball and only gave up 1 earned against Murrita Mesa in the semis
Jacob Griego from Excelsior Charter School , pitched in 11 games with 11 wins this year. He had132 strike outs with an era of .o49. Batted over 500 for the second year in a row. Top of leader category of all hitting and fielding. Plays second , short, third and center field and helped take his team to cif game two years in a row. He has been given a division1 scholorships. Small schools.
Cameron Wilson wasnt even the best player on his team. Jacob Griego, Logan Valencia and Bret Hoffman were outstanding. Wilson is nominated because his dad is the coach and he manipulates his stats.
Very sad.
You are completely wrong. Coach Wilson had nothing to do with it. We are a small staff and admittedly don’t pay that much attention to CIF Southern Section Division VII schools. I believe Cameron was simply a carry-over from last year’s list. We welcome the opportunity to hear about other players but doing it while ripping somebody else or another player is what is very sad.
Check max preps stats on Griego, Hoffman, and Valencia.
I am just the talking head of alot of frustrated parents at Excelsior from the last 2 years.
There are good players on these lists and some that were missed. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. At the end of the day where is the kid going? D1, D2, NAIA, JC, Pros, moving on outside of baseball. The debate on players will not be resolved here but rather, at the end of the day their play will do their talking.
