EDITOR'S NOTE: Nominations will only be accepted from varsity coaches.

It's time for Baseball America to begin collecting candidates for the postseason All-America teams and we need help from coaches. We name three teams of players and include their statistics. Coaches can send nominations to highschoolblog@baseballamerica.com. Put "2011 All-America Nomination" in the subject line and include your name, school, contact info, the player's name, position, class and stats. Please make sure information is complete.

Here are a few things that will help us and hopefully answer any questions you have:

• If you list your stats online, please provide the link or web site and we'll get the stats from there. These are the stats we ask for:

Hitters – AVG        AB    R    H    2B    3B    HR    RBI    SB

Pitchers – W-L    ERA    G    SV    IP    H    BB    K

• Yes, you can nominate an underclassman.

• Yes, you can nominate an opposing player. We understand you probably don't have their stats so please give us any contact information that would help us in tracking down the coach.

• Please indicate if your season is completed. We know some of you might be at the tail end of playoffs so please get us what you can and update us as needed.

Don't hesitate to include any questions you have in your e-mail.
