For the fourth straight year, Baseball America is proud to present a list of the 50 best names in college baseball, and for the fourth straight year, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Itchy Burts tops the list.

Also back near the top of the list are Zacchaeus Rasberry of Presbyterian and Zebulon Vermillion of Arkansas, who also came in at Nos. 2 and 3 a year ago. Burts and Rasberry both took advantage of the NCAA’s eligibility relief last year to return for a fifth season of college baseball and another year of topping the best names list.

It’s important to be clear about what this list is and what this list isn’t. Talent, stats and prospect status have no bearing whatsoever. Everyone from All-Americans to little-used role players is represented. Rather, this list simply aims to present the 50 best names in college baseball.
