Hoosiers outfielder Devin Taylor has officially become just the third unanimous All-American in Indiana baseball history.

In 2024-25 Taylor had a monster season with a batting average of .366 with, 16 home runs and a career high 60 RBI's. He had 75 hits and finished top three in the Big Ten with 51 walks.

In his career, Taylor ranks top-10 in program history in home runs (52), RBIs (173), runs scored (189), walks (124) and slugging percentage (.664).

Taylor helped guide Indiana's baseball program to over 100 wins during his Hoosiers career under head coach Jeff Mercer. He made three Big Ten Tournaments and two NCAA Tournaments and led the program to seven postseason wins.

The Cincinnati, Ohio native will seek to become the highest-drafted player since Kyle Schwarber went fourth overall to the Chicago Cubs in 2011.

In ESPN’s latest three-person mock draft released this week, analyst David Schoenfield projects the Tigers to select Indiana outfielder Devin Taylor with the No. 24 overall pick.

The 2025 MLB Draft begins Sunday, July 13.
