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.

This weekend, teams from all around the country in the 10U, 12U and 14U divisions will converge on the Houston area for the 2026 PG National All-State Select Championships. The 10U division will have 22 teams, 12U will have 23 and 14U will have 22. All ages have many different states represented - from Hawaii, to the Pacific Northwest, to Arizona, to New England, to Carolina to Florida and many more. “National All-State brings together the best players in the country across Houston,” national crosschecker and northeast scouting director, John McAdams, said. “It’s a fun atmosphere for ultimate bragging rights amongst all the regions the PG platform reaches domestically while serving as a good litmus test for myself, Jheremy Brown and Tyler Russo to see the players.

PG Draft Content Hub With the fall season winding down and the winter months approaching, it is time for another draft board update.  After getting more live looks and gathering information from the fall action across the country, we have expanded the board to a Top-200.

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 70

Ron Wolforth

That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now   The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing.  They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...
