The South Charlotte Sports Report presents the 2017 All-South High School Baseball Team and Awards.

The All-South Team is a selected from high schools that are located inside the South Charlotte Sports Report coverage area.

As with any all-star team, there will be players that are overlooked and could easily have been selected, no selection of all-stars are ever perfect.  The team takes many hours of research and even them, the level of data, opinions and input from certain schools is limited or simply not available.  This team was selected through the work of four community members that have attended dozens of high school games this spring as a game participant, media member of general baseball observer.

 

Let’s begin with the 2017 awards before moving to the All-South Teams.
