It’s been an up-and-down decade for UCF Knights Baseball at times, but the talent that has come through the program over the past ten years is undeniable.
So here are our UCF Baseball All-Decade First and Second Teams, as selected by Eric Lopez, Luke Sarris and Brian Murphy.
As usual, the rules for qualifications for our UCF All-Decade Teams are that a player had to have played at least one season at UCF from the years 2010-2019.
