BLOOMINGTON, Ind. –  The awards keep filing in for sophomore outfielder Devin Taylor after his prolific 2024 campaign. He was named a Second Team All-American by Perfect Game, as announced by the organization on Wednesday (June 12) afternoon.

The Cincinnati, Ohio native was the catalyst in a historic offensive season for the Indiana Baseball team. He led the team in batting average (.357), hits (86), runs (67) and home runs (20) while starting in 59 of 60 contests. The conference leader in both home runs and runs scored, Taylor was named a First Team All-Big Ten and First Team All-Midwest Region selection.

After being named a Preseason All-American by the outlet, Taylor lived up to the hype and more. He had 30 multi-hit games and hit home runs in six of his final 10 contests. Over his final 19 games, for which he was moved into the leadoff spot, he hit .373 with 12 home runs. He was a two-time Big Ten Player of the Week this season and became the first Hoosier with 20 long balls in a season during the BBCOR era (since 2011).

He will return to Bloomington next year with a real shot at breaking the program’s all-time home run record. One of the most prolific hitters ever to wear the cream and crimson, he will be surrounded by a bevy of talent in the IU lineup in 2025. He is scheduled to participate in the Team USA Collegiate Training Camp before playing in the Cape Cod League with Cotuit.
