April 18 Top 25 | Top 150 Junior College Prospects

Despite a good amount of movement in the middle and latter parts of the list, the top of the rankings this week didn't see any movement whatsoever, as Nos. 1-9 all stayed the same from a week ago, with each of those teams enjoying quality weeks overall. Chipola continues to reign supreme atop the list, with a sterling 40-8 record overall, highlighted by a 20-4 conference mark. Jones County stays right on their heels at No. 2, while LSU-Eunice, Chattahoochee Valley and McLennan round out the top 5. 

Santa Rosa and Santa Fe hold steady at Nos. 6 and 7 this week, respectively, as do Dyersburg State and Iowa Western immediately following them. A newcomer this week debuts at No. 10 in Sacramento City, a California JuCo that has made some serious noise on the West Coast this season, posting a 27-9 overall record along with a 17-4 record in conference. 

Aside from the newcomers, Crowder (Mo.) and Orange Coast (Calif.) were the biggest risers this week, as they each bumped up two spots a piece to Nos. 19 and 20, respectively. Wallace-Dothan (Ala.) makes their Top 25 debut this week at No. 23 with a record of 34-13 and an in-conference mark of 18-6. 

The regular seasons have just about wrapped up in several spots across the country, including Florida and Texas, so as these teams move forward into their respective postseasons, and ultimately moving towards the JuCo World Series, these rankings can become a good bit more fluid, so make sure to check back each week. 



Prospect Spotlight: Dyersburg State's Offense

Generally speaking, offensive numbers can be a bit inflated in Junior College baseball across the country, sometimes simply because the ballparks and locations may be tilted in the offense's favor. However, regardless of that little factoid, what Dyersburg State (currently No. 8 in the rankings) has done thus far this season with the bats needs to be recognized. They are hitting .368/.465/.574 as a team, good for a ridiculous team OPS of 1.039. For reference, in 2016, the individual OPS leaders in Major League Baseball were Daniel Murphy in the National League with a .985 mark and David Ortiz in the American League with an OPS of 1.021. So, and granted that JuCo baseball is not Major League Baseball, Dyersburg State as a team is out-OPS'ing the individual leaders of the MLB from 2016. 

Individually speaking, one could really just list Dyersburg State's entire lineup as one giant highlight of offensive production, but for the sake of this area of the writeup we'll just stick with a couple. Freshman Andrew Swanson leads the team in home runs (12), extra-base hits (26) and slugging percentage (.757), and he has an OPS of 1.254. Sophomore Bentley Jones is the team leader in batting average (.433) and has walked more than twice as many times as he's struck out all season (23:11 BB:K) to go along with 14 extra-base hits and quality defense. Again, this space could literally go on for 1,000-plus words speaking about the individual offensive accomplishments of the Dyersburg State roster, but the most impressive stat of all is the overall value the unit has as a whole. 


Rankings are based on games through Sunday, April 23.

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo
Article Image
2031 C/OF Jace Winston (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) had a really nice day at the dish as he picked up a couple hits in his first game, both well-struck, and then launched a bomb in game 2. He’s one of the more physical players here who can really impact the baseball already, and the consistency in which he’s hitting this fall is a great sign going into 2027. 2031 SS/RHP Weston Stalls (Blackstock, S.C.) came in for a couple innings of relief on the day and showed off the arm talent running the fastball up to 87. It’s a fast arm and he generates real life to the fastball, while the breaking ball is a good pitch as well.   ‘31 SS Parker Smith (NC) went 3-for-3 to open the weekend, this a line drive single the other way. 6’2/140 & can accelerate the barrel already, intriguing projection. #NatAllState @PG_Coastal https://t.co/Z7C5kDGdIM — Perfect Game...

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.

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 |...
