National High School Top 50: April 3

2018 Boras Classic: Day 1 Notes
| Day 2 Notes | Day 3 Notes | Day 4 Notes

A lot of movement occurred in the Perfect Game High School Top 50 this week as a number of national tournaments were decided and the champions established themselves as legitimate contenders for the best team in the country. JSerra (Calif.) enters at No. 47 after capturing the Boras Classic Southern Section championship, defeating La Mirada (Calif.) who also is a newcomer at No. 35. La Mirada enters higher than JSerra strictly based on performance thus far, as La Mirada has had a bit more impressive resume, only dropping their second game of the season in a one-run loss to JSerra. 

Valley Christian Schools (Calif.) captured the National Classic after defeating a number of impressively talented teams and jumps to No. 12 as the top-ranked team in the state. River Ridge (Ga.) jumps to No. 26 after winning the second IMG National Classic, defeating perennially tough foe Canterbury (Fla.) and in the process defeated then-No. 25 TC Roberson (N.C.) in the semifinals. 

The top five also endured some shakeups, outside of No. 1 of course as it looks as though Calvary Christian (Fla.) may never lose again. Lake Travis (Texas) and Argyle (Texas) are both enjoying undefeated seasons thus far and slot in at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Calvary Christian Academy (Fla.) and Blessed Trinity (Fla.) round out the top five as the Titans endured only their second loss of the season. 

After dropping two games in their opening tournament, Desert Oasis (Nev.) has won 20 of the past 21 including a big victory over former No. 10 Bishop Gorman over the past week. Vianney (Mo.) enters at No. 37 in the midst of an undefeated season with a ton of senior talent and O'Fallon (Ill.) has also not dropped a game yet, having one tie to the resume, and comes in at No. 43. This is exactly the time of year when shakeups are common occurrence so get a good look at the top teams now, as the entire list could look completely different a week from now.

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
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...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 62

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 62, Part 1 Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls - Part 2  Now, on to Part 2 of our three-part series on baseball's most misunderstood topics. We tackled the curveball. Next up: pitch counts. And in Part 3, we'll address weighted balls, another subject where fear has outpaced reason.   Why these three? Because they share something in common: each has been reduced to a simplistic, one-size-fits-all rule that ignores the complexity of human performance. And in each case, well-meaning people have latched onto these rules as if they're gospel, while the arm injury epidemic continues unabated.  It's time to think more clearly.   Part II: Demystifying Pitch Counts   Let me be clear from the start: I am not anti-pitch count.   Pitch counts are a valuable tool. We use them at...

Monday Morning SoCal Notebook

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Three hitters and three pitchers that really impressed or improved their stock at the Area Code Select at Dodger Stadium.  Gotta start with James Clark as he stole the show offensively, and right out of the gate, with a pull side home run as just the second hitter of the game.  Added a triple to the pull side again, again on the barrel.  Added a single up the middle.  Really showed exceptional feel for the barrel.  Flew out to center field on two occasions, both barreled up pretty well, with one getting lost in the sun.  I’m old and salty, so didn’t give him the double for the cycle, but he was the most impressive bat (easily) on the day.   One of the other position players that impressed, I’ve been somewhat critical of, have spoken with his travel coach a little bit about him behind the plate, but Vista Murrieta catcher Taytum...

Top High School Team by State

As we continue to roll out our Preseason High School content, we look at what teams come into 2026 as the “team to beat” in each state, whether through prior success or talented rosters. Many of these teams will win titles in their respective states, but most are closely followed by other talented teams in their state that will look to take over the label as the “top team in the state” when we update this after the 2026 high school season.
