The ABCA/Rawlings High School All-America Baseball Team has been named by the American Baseball Coaches Association every year since 1969, with the exceptions of 1993 and 2020. Between 1971–1975 and in 2000, only one team was selected per year. In 1969–1970, 1976 and 1987, two teams were selected per year. Each team has consisted of between 10 and 26 players at various designated positions.

, Cherry Creek High School in Colorado, Farragut High School in Tennessee, Parkview High School in Georgia and Stillwater High School in Oklahoma have each had nine selections to the team, more than any other school. California has had more selections and more than twice as many First Team selections as any other state, with 340 and 151 respectively.

Forty-four players have been named to the team twice. Bill McGuire of Creighton Preparatory School was the first to accomplish the feat in 1981 and 1982. , Tripp MacKay, Joey Gallo, Jack Flaherty, Jace Bohrofen, Druw Jones and Seth Hernandez, Gio Rojas and Malachi Washington are the only players to be named to the First Team twice.

Scott Kazmir and Clint Everts of Cypress Falls High School accomplished the same feat in the following year. Adrian Cárdenas and Chris Marrero of Monsignor Edward Pace High School followed in 2006 and Seth Hernandez and Ethan Schiefelbein of Corona High School followed in 2024.
