After getting out our first look at NorCal nominees yesterday for the annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Baseball Teams, here’s the same thing for the CIF L.A. City Section, CIF San Diego Section and CIF Southern Section. For these lists, the Central Section is in the north. They are based on information we’ve gained through coverage of the regular season and playoffs. It’s not meant to be a final list and we’re looking for additional nominees that can be sent in from any coach, parent or fan.

We hope you enjoy this free post on CalHiSports.com. Please help us out today by becoming a member of our Gold Club so you can see all of our great content. Several of the upcoming all-state team posts will be for Gold Club members only as well plus upcoming state record updates. For more on special offer to get signed up for $3.99 per month, CLICK HERE.

What We’re Looking For: It’s only too late to send in a nomination once the “publish” button is pushed on one of our all-state posts. You can send a nomination with each athlete’s position, year in school, significant statistics. Make sure to list the school, too. Comparing a player not on the board yet to one who already is listed also 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 (that is the cell for editor Mark Tennis).

Format: All-state teams will be selected separately for underclassmen, medium schools and small schools. A final top 30 overall team also will be done with each of those 30 players featured with a writeup. There is a separate category for what we call multi-purpose, which is where we often highlight those baseball players who are top pitchers and top hitters.

Our all-state baseball patch for this year will be similar to the one from 2021 from our friends at BillyTees.com. Each patch is sent with a framable certificate.

Thanks to special Northern California correspondent Daniel Poulter for major contributions to these lists. Please give him a follow @DanielJPoulter. Finally, congratulations to following all-state nominees currently on our board for the various 2022 all-state baseball teams:
