2008 College Baseball All-America Team

2008 All-Americans included 2010 NL Rookie of the Year Buster Posey (left) and Roger Clemens Award winner Aaron Crow (right).

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 2008 NCAA Division I baseball season. From 2006 to 2010, there were five generally recognized All-America selectors for baseball: the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America , Collegiate Baseball Newspaper , the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, and Rivals.com. In order to be considered a "consensus" All-American, a player must have been selected by at least three of these.
