National High School Top 50: April 10


The High School Top 50 remains pretty much the same in terms of the top team in the land, as all of the top 9 from last week retain their spots in the rankings. Valley Christian Schools (Calif.) joins the top 10 at No. 10 and Faith Academy (Ala.) jumps five spots to No. 11 in the country. Six new teams join the rankings and they are as follows: No. 39 Flanagan (Fla.), No. 41 Don Bosco Prep (N.J.), No. 42 Pope (Ga.), No. 44 St. Xavier (Ky.), No. 46 Blanchard (Okla.) and No. 48 Mountain View (Ariz.).

The top 20 has been highlighted by very strong years in both the Texahoma and Southeast regions. Nos. 2 and 3 Lake Travis (Texas) and Argyle (Texas) are both in the midst of strong undefeated seasons in large classifications while San Antonio Reagan (Texas) is at No. 7 and Cypress Ranch (Texas) is at No. 17. The Southeast has been led by two Georgia teams in Blessed Trinity and Parkview at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. Faith Academy (Ala.), Zachary (La.) and John Curtis Christian (La.) round out the top 20 for the Southeast and John Curtis turned heads a couple of weeks ago at the NHSI with an impressive run into the final four. 

Midwest and Northeast baseball is underway but due to unprecedented cold weather and rain outs some teams like Saline (Mich.) still haven't gotten a chance to play. Don Bosco Prep and St. Xavier are two teams joining the rankings after hot starts to their seasons represented in these regions. We are approaching the final week of regular season play for most of the Florida and Southeast teams, and the rankings are sure to reflect that as state playoffs get underway. Stay tuned to Perfect Game as there's no better time than high school baseball state playoffs.

California All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
The 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory for the state of California, with 18 players ranking among the top 100 in the Perfect Game national rankings.  Three PG All-Americans, IF Trey Ebel, OF Isaiah Hearn and RHP Logan Georges were all edged out of places on the California All-Region Team as a result.  And although the 2027 class doesn’t look as deep, it does feature three Top Six players in SS Dylan Seward, LHP Jared Grindlinger and SS Carter Hadnot. Not surprisingly, California high schools are very well represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, particularly with 2025 Trinity League champion St. John Bosco beginning the season as the top ranked team in the country.  A very deep Orange Lutheran squad holds down the third spot in the rankings, with 12th ranked De La Salle being the top team from Northern California.  Corona (17th),...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team.  There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country.  Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th.  Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot.   OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year.  McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

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...
