Perfect Game Junior College Top 25: May 10

In the blink of an eye, the 2016 regular season flew by, and after taking last week off from the rankings, we have some big risers in this week’s update and also welcome seven new teams to the party, although a few of them were ranked in the preseason and earlier in the regular season.

Cowley, Yavapai, Cisco and Cypress were all ranked in our preseason Top 50, none lower than 28th, and after hitting a few bumps during the season, all four of those teams have dusted themselves off and are peaking at the right time. Cowley, Yavapai and Cisco all won their regional tournaments and punched their tickets to the JUCO World Series, and Cypress has advanced to the California Community College State Playoffs. It’s always great to see teams battle adversity and come together in the end to keep the dream alive.

The top two spots in our rankings remain unchanged with San Jacinto still sitting in the top spot and Santa Fe right on the Gators heels in second. Both of these teams have been dominating all season and surely deserved their respective trips to Grand Junction.

Our preseason No. 2 team, Iowa Western checks in at No. 3 this week after weathering a slow start and ending up reaching 50 wins once again. Coach Rardin is one of the best in the business and he has his Reivers firing on all cylinders as they get set to face off against Santa Fe in game one of the World Series on Saturday.

Rounding out the top 5 are Chattahoochee Valley at fourth and Santa Rosa in fifth. Chattahoochee Valley will be playing Harford in game two of the World Series on Saturday while Santa Rosa will take on once again ranked Cypress in the State Playoffs.

Harford and Mercer County have both been surging up the rankings the last few weeks of the season and both crack the top 10 for the first time this season. Harford will be heading to the JUCO World Series for the first time in school history, so congratulations to Coach Eller and his Fighting Owls team for this awesome achievement.

Jones County, Lower Columbia and Darton State all crack the Top 25 for the first time this season and deservingly so. Jones County finished the regular season 49-8 and are heading to the D-ll World Series in Enid, Oklahoma. Lower Columbia (33-12) is off to the Northwest Athletic Conference championships in Longview, Washington and enter that tournament as the No. 1 seed from the West Division. Darton State had quite a wild weekend highlighted by a big come-from-behind win against a very strong Dyersburg State team and will now head off to the JUCO World Series to face Cisco on Saturday afternoon.

Whether you’re in the NJCAA, CCCAA, or NWAC, we will be following closely this weekend as the road to the rings really heats up and we’ll be back June 5 with our final rankings of the season. Good luck to all of the participating teams.

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. We get another glimpse at the end of the year as we start to formulate our initial thoughts on the...

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. The class continues to feature an intriguing mix of arms from both the prep and college ranks, along with an enticing position player pool.  There is still plenty of time for new names to emerge and established prospects to continue to improve their draft stock, but here is where things stand as we head into the winter.  * denotes draft eligible sophomore Rk.

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
Article Image
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...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

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 |...
