For 10 All-Americans, they won’t have to dream long. Last night during Opening Ceremonies here at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, the dreams of 10 players became reality as they were named 2016 Under Armour All-Americans in an announcement by Steve Bernhardt, Executive VP of Baseball Factory and Chairman of the Under Armour All-American Game Selection Committee.
