1998 College Baseball All-America Team

1998 All-Americans included 2006 World Series champion Jeff Weaver (left) and National College Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee Brad Wilkerson (right).

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1998 NCAA Division I baseball season. In 1998, there were six generally recognized All-America selectors for baseball: the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America, the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, The Sporting News, and USA Today Baseball Weekly. In order to be considered a "consensus" All-American, a player must have been selected by at least four of these.
