2016 Perfect Game High School Baseball Preview Index

Welcome back to another season of the Perfect Game High School Team Rankings. Our initial rankings are listed below.

Huntington Beach (Calif.) enters the 2016 season ranked No. 1 in the country, and for good reason. With tons of talent top to bottom in both their lineup and pitching staff, the Oilers are primed for an outstanding year. They have a great base of talent, starting with two-way star Hagen Danner, and have been bolstered tremendously heading into this season by the transfer of Nick Pratto, another two-way athlete with a very high ceiling. They are set up quite well not only for this year but for years to come as well.

Parkview (Ga.) ended the 2015 season ranked No. 1, after an outstanding campaign culminating in a state championship. They’re No. 2 to start 2016, and once again big things are expected from them as they look to retain their crown. Led by a senior battery of Will Ethridge and Austin Biggar, the Panthers are well set up to do just that this season.

Geographically speaking, the rankings are a pretty good reflection of the fact that some states are simply just baseball hotbeds. Specifically, six California teams, four Georgia teams, nine Texas teams and 10 Florida teams make up 29 of the 50, which accounts for 58 percent of the ranked programs. Even more specifically, the Miami area is very strong this season. Six of the 10 ranked teams from the state of Florida are in the general Miami area.

While there are obvious geographical strengths, in terms of baseball talent, that’s not to say the rest of the country is without talent. Overall, 17 states make up the Top 50, ranging from several California schools on the west coast to a pair of New Jersey schools all the way across the country. From as far south as the several Miami-area schools all the way north to metro Detroit.

Four Perfect Game All-Americans go to schools listed on our Top 50 Team Rankings. Austin Bergner (Windermere Prep), Charles King (Coppell), Karl Kauffman (Brother Rice) and Nicholas Quintana (Arbor View) all played in the Perfect Game All American Classic back in August in San Diego, and all head into their senior seasons playing on nationally ranked high school teams.

These rankings will change substantially in the coming weeks and months, especially as we get into March and April when more and more states begin their high school seasons. New teams will be introduced to the rankings, teams will rise and teams will fall, and some will drop out altogether. It’s going to be a great season and we hope you enjoy it too as you follow along with us.
