National High School Top 50: May 2

As the season begins to wrap up with numerous states in state playoffs and many more starting this week, the teams at the top of the crop are beginning to crystallize. The southeast is the farthest ahead in terms of playoffs as many are in either the final four or the elite eight.

The top five loses Winder-Barrow (Ga.) following its elimination in the Georgia state playoffs but it lands at No. 40 in the updated version of the rankings. Archbishop McCarthy (Fla.) moves up one spot to No. 3 with Huntington Beach (Calif.) and Shawnee (Okla.) staying the same, at Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. Huntington Beach won the Boras Classic over the weekend.

West Monroe (La.) and Calvary Christian (Fla.) join the top five at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. Calvary Christian finished off its undefeated regular season and looks ahead to the Florida state playoffs. West Monroe advanced to the final-four of the Louisiana state playoffs and looks every bit the part of one of the top five teams in the country.

Led by PG All-American Jacob Pearson, who is hitting a blistering .551 with ten home runs and 31 RBI, the offense and pitching have been clicking on all cylinders as West Monroe looks to finish off the season with a state championship.

New teams to the Top 50 include Gulfport (Miss.) at no. 32, Mill Creek (Ga.) at no. 44, and Moody (Tex.) at no. 50. Horizon (Ariz.) rejoins the Top 50, slotted in to no. 49, after being included earlier in the season.

Next week Perfect Game will not be updating the HS Top 50. Instead, the next edition will be on May 23rd. Everyone at PG is looking forward to the competitive state races nationwide and anticipate the end result as there is sure to be a ton of excellent baseball being played. Best of luck, everyone!

Class of 2027 Rankings Risers

Kyler Peterson

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 |...

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo

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...

National All State Preview: Week 1

Hannah Jo Groves

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...

2027 MLB Draft Board Update: Top 200

Tyler Henninger

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

Craig Cozart

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...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

Ron Wolforth

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...
