Here are The Baltimore Sun’s All-Metro baseball teams for the 2024 season.

Player of the Year

Jake Yeager, Archbishop Spalding, senior, pitcher

Yeager was the ace of a Spalding rotation that had four starters commit to NCAA Division I programs before the season began.

The Cavaliers relied heavily on that pitching staff to win their third straight Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship under coach Joe Palumbo.

Yeager, a Maryland commit, led the way with five wins and a 1.25 ERA with 84 strikeouts, 22 walks and 0.89 walks and hits per inning pitched (WHIP) over 56 innings. Opponents batted just .138 against him.

“It was incredibly rewarding,” Yeager said about winning three consecutive titles. “I loved every second of being a part of this program. I wouldn’t have wanted to go out any other way.

“Our coaches talk about doing the little things all the time. That’s what really sets us apart. Whether it’s in school, having our uniforms perfect — shirt tucked, correct shoes, correct sweater — Coach Palumbo really pushes us to be better in all aspects of life, as a person and a player.”

In addition to Yeager, Spalding’s other Division I commits are Nathan Wines (East Carolina), Peyton Mamula (Maryland) and Brayden Robinson (West Virginia).

Yeager was ranked the No. 1 pitcher in the state by Prep Baseball Report and kept batters off-balance with his pitch mix, including a fastball that could reach 94 Spalding senior pitcher Jake Yeager is The Baltimore Sun All-Metro baseball Player of the Year. Paul W. Gillespie/Staff
