1989 All-Americans included two-time AL MVP Frank Thomas (left) and 2007 AL Manager of the Year Eric Wedge (right).
This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1989 NCAA Division I baseball season. From 1981 to 1990, there were three generally recognized All-America selectors for baseball: the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America, and The Sporting News. In order to be considered a "consensus" All-American, a player must have been selected by at least two of these.
