Dan Ninemire, General Manager and baseball instructor at the All American Baseball Center, worked several years as a baseball coach at the NCAA Division I Collegiate Baseball level. The following is a list of baseball players that were selected and recognized as All Americans at the collegiate level, as well as others identified who were drafted or signed professional contracts. Coach Ninemire coached every one of the players listed below, and played a role in their development as All Americans and professionals. Through Coach Ninemire’s leadership and our professional instructors, it is our intention to add more players to this list in the upcoming years. We have demonstrated the ability to develop All Americans and Professionals. Do you have what it takes to bring your game to this level?
