The four-time winner of the award for the top name in college baseball, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Itchy Burts, graduated at the end of last season, leaving a void at the top of this list.
Also departed is the No. 2 name from each of the last three iterations of this list, Presbyterian’s Zacchaeus Rasberry, so suffice it to say that there has been quite a shakeup among the best names in the sport.
The top returner from last season’s list is Arkansas righthander Zebulon Vermillion, who was No. 3 in each of the last three years. He moved up in this year’s list, but not all the way to the top spot. That distinction belongs to freshman UC Irvine infielder Dub Gleed.
Note that this list is not any sort of ranking of talent or productivity or value to a team. It’s strictly a list of the best names. Also, to qualify, a name does not have to be a player’s given name. It just needs to be the name listed on the team’s official roster.
