Junior College Top 25: April 28

After a relatively slow weekend on the 2015 post-season tournament front, almost every team in Perfect Game’s ranking of the nation’s Top 25 junior colleges jumps into action later this week.

The bulk of the teams will participate in regional-tournament play at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I level, with berths in the Junior College World Series, set for May 23-30 in Grand Junction, Colo., at stake for the winners. Ten regional champions will qualify.

Five of PG’s Top 25 teams are from Florida, and all those clubs will engage in the NJCAA’s Gulf District Tournament, a 10-team double-elimination competition in Lakeland, Fla., that is annually one of the nation’s most hotly-contested championships. The teams to beat would appear to be No. 2 St. Johns River State (44-8) and No. 4 Chipola (39-10), though St. Johns River, which has been ranked first or second all season by PG, has never won that tournament.

The NJCAA Central District Tournament, which also starts Friday, in Wichita, Kan., also features two Top 10 teams in PG’s latest raking, No. 3 Cowley County (49-3) and No. 8 Johnson County (48-9).

The NJCAA Southwest District tournament, which opens Friday in Lubbock, Texas, is another that bears watching as it involves three more Top 25 teams in No. 11 Howard (42-13), No. 12 Grayson (36-15) and No. 17 Weatherford (34-13).

Meanwhile, the third round of the 36-team California state junior-college tournament resumes Thursday with separate best-of-3 series slated for eight sites. No. 1-ranked San Joaquin Delta (35-3), which unexpectedly needed a decisive third game to turn back the College of the Sequoias in regional competition over the weekend, will face Cabrillo College. San Joaquin Delta has held down the top spot in PG’s Top 25 almost from the start of the 2015 season after winning its first 28 games. The two other ranked California teams, No. 5 Palomar and No. 14 Fresno (31-8), also advanced to the Round of 16. The four-team state final is set for Fresno from May 23-25. California schools are not members of the NJCAA.

Besides the California schools, Tennessee’s No. 7 Walters State (51-10) was the only other Top 25 school involved in post-season competition over the weekend. The Senators won the Tennessee state title to advance to the East Central District tournament, which is slated to begin May 14.

Meanwhile, Iowa Western, which has won the Junior College World Series in three of the last five years, will be heavily favored to win the Iowa junior-college tournament this weekend. From there, the No. 6-ranked Rievers (46-5) would need to win the NJCAA Northern District Tournament to return to Grand Junction.

Three NJCAA Division II teams—No. 15 Hinds, Miss. (38-5), No. 16 LSU-Eunice (41-9) and No. 20 Paradise Valley, Ariz. (38-15)—also continue action on the road to the D-II World Series, scheduled for Enid, Okla., May 23-30.

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE    There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...

West Region High School Sleepers

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Talking and debating sleeper prospects might be my favorite part of scouting. It’s where context, projection, and conviction matter most—whether it’s an underrated performer who keeps producing on the circuit, a raw but explosive athlete you can dream on, or an arm with starter traits that hasn’t quite made the stuff jump yet. These are the players who tend to separate evaluators, reward patience, and make the spring HS season really fascinating. Below are several West Region prospects outside the T100 who fit that mold and deserve serious attention as the spring unfolds. Jet Berry, Queen Creek HS, Arizona There’s a lot to like with Berry. He’s one of the more explosive, twitchy athletes in the country, and it shows consistently in all facets of his game. From a tools perspective his easy plus run and bat-to-ball ability stand out. He’s been a...

Preseason NAIA Top 25

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The 2026 NAIA Baseball Rankings arrive with the familiar weight of expectations and a few fresh storylines that make the new season feel electric from top to bottom. At the very front of the pack, perennial power Tennessee Wesleyan stands tall once again, a program that has turned sustained excellence into something bordering on routine. The Bulldogs are not just ranked highly, they set the tone. Year after year, they combine elite talent, veteran leadership, and a culture that refuses to blink under pressure. It says everything about the depth of this year’s field that it was genuinely difficult not to slide LSU Shreveport back into the top spot yet again. After all, how in the world does a team stay that good after losing so many impact players? The answer is simple and timeless. Success breeds success. Programs that live in championship air know how to reload, not reset, and...
