Unsurprisingly, Tennessee had more players than any other program on our four All-Southeastern Conference baseball teams

Tennessee leads all teams with eight players selected to our four All-SEC teams for the 2022 baseball season, edging Texas A&M, which had six.
The Vols had four players selected to our first team, three to the second and one to the fourth, while the Aggies had one on our first- and second-teams, followed by two on our third team and three on our fourth team.
Each team had three starting pitchers, one reliever, a player at every infield spot and three outfielders (with at least one center fielder on each team in as a nod to defense) and a "DH/utility" spot to recognize the best player left who didn't fit at one of those spots.
Every team had a representative, with the remaining breakdown as follows: Florida and Arkansas (five); Vanderbilt and Georgia four each); Auburn, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Missouri and South Carolina (three each); LSU and Mississippi State (two each) and Alabama (one).
