The subjectiveness of All-America teams, especially in college baseball, has always been pretty far reaching.
Annually, we find some “no-doubt-about-it” selections mixed in with a dose of randomness which is expected given the varying media covering the sport.

Some are better than others. D1Baseball.com is probably the most notable and those guys do an unbelievable job covering the sport coast to coast. (They are also one of the few national outlets that seems to give Arkansas sports far more love than hate)
Most of the time, the All-America teams selected by the baseball media are on target with the consensus, household name type picks because they put up solid, All-American type numbers along with 42 other guys.
