National High School Top 50: May 22 | Preseason National High School Top 50

The Perfect Game High School Top 50 has come to a close with this final edition of the 2018 rankings. For the final time this season, there is a new No. 1  team as Argyle (Texas) wrapped up their undefeated season that culminated in a state championship. Former No. 1 Calvary Christian (Fla.) had been in the top three since the preseason and was No. 1 for seven straight weeks before falling in the state championship game to No. 5 Calvary Christian Academy (Fla.). It is still worth noting that Calvary Christian had won 60 straight games going into the state championship. 

Parkview (Ga.) comes in at No. 2 following their state championship in the highest classification in the state of Georgia, dispatching No. 40 Mill Creek in a two-game sweep. The Panthers were a very talented squad as PG had eyes on their team during the PG High School Showdown earlier this spring. Faith Academy (Ala.) comes in at No. 3, while Riverdale Baptist (Md.) and the aforementioned Calvary Christian Academy round out the top five. John Curtis Christian (La.) comes in at No. 6 following their state championship, and also impressed at the NHSI, while Vianney (Mo.), St. Xavier (Ky.), Valley Christian Schools (Calif.) and New Hanover (N.C.) complete the top ten teams in the country. 

Orange Lutheran (Calif.) comes in at No. 11 as the highest-ranked team without having won a state championship. The Lancers had one of the tougher schedules in the country as they played in the NHSI and Boras Classic South in addition to regularly playing teams in the loaded Southern California Trinity League. Southlake Carroll (Texas) is the highest ranked new entry to the Top 50 as they come in at No. 13 on the heels of a state championship in 6A, the highest classification in the state of Texas.

Congratulations are in order to the following teams in the PG High School Top 50 who completed their seasons on top to secure state championships:

• Argyle (Texas)
• Parkview (Ga.)
• Faith Academy (Ala.)
• Calvary Christian Academy (Fla.)

Midwest All Region & Top Tools
David Rawnsley
Article Image
MIDWEST REGION (KS, MO, OK, AR, NE, IA, WI, MN, SD, ND) The Midwest Region featured only two 2025 Perfect Game All-Americans in catcher Carson May and shortstop Keaton Neal, both from the Kansas City area, but if the team were to be re-selected today there might be three or four more players honored.  The theme of the Midwest Region this year has been the number of players who have improved significantly during the late summer and especially the fall, which bodes well for this spring. In addition, the 2027 class in the Midwest Region appears to be solid as well and will have many All-American worthy players. St. Thomas Aquinas HS of Kansas is the top ranked school from the Midwest Region, checking in at 38th overall in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Edmond Memorial HS of Oklahoma gives the region two teams as they start 47th nationally. C – Carson May...

Grady Emerson (‘26 TX) laces this ball to right for a walk off single. Clean lefty stroke. Looks the part both sides of the ball. Checks all the boxes. Will be scouted heavily this Spring. #PGHS #HookEm commit. #PGDraft pic.twitter.com/wXvdHdgqME — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) February 6, 2026 Grady Emerson (2026, Argyle, Texas) had a strong showing throughout the opening week of high school baseball out here in Texas. Works good at-bats and is always a tough out in general. Makes all the plays at short and just has the look of a future big leaguer. He does all the little things right. Bat to ball will play at a high level and there is still a lot more power to project on here. There is a reason why Emerson is one of, if not the most highly coveted high school prospect in the 2026 class and it’s easy to see why. Currently committed to Texas, but has the potential to...

BURLINGTON, IA - Perfect Game Softball Winter One Day Tournament, February 15, 2026. Twelve teams, split between the 16u and 18u divisions, participated in this event.  With two pool games, and then a move into single elimination bracket play,  some players used this tournament as  their last warm-up before kicking off their high school seasons, while others were tuning up for the busy Spring and Summer travel season. In the 16u division, it was the Iowa Aries 16u Ce Fire Red taking the championship, with Southeast Iowa Allstars 18u Gold Miller earning the crown in the 18u division. Below are write-ups from observations made during the day, as due to a software glitch, there were no stats available to complete a Top Performers list. 16U Division  Earning the MV-Pitcher Award, as selected by her coaches, was Aurora Widlund (2029 Altoona, IA) of tournament champion Iowa...

JUCO Rankings Update: February 18

Just a couple of weeks into the 2026 season, several teams have already hit the ground running, namely Walters State, Florida Southwestern, Chipola, Johnson County, Florence-Darlington, and Pearl River. A little further down the rankings, we’ve seen some significant movement. The College of Southern Nevada surged up several spots after a strong 12-2 start, while Gaston has turned heads with an unblemished 14-0 record. We also welcome a few new additions in the 20s: Fresno City and Panola. Neither program debuted inside our top 50, but both have certainly earned their place in this week’s rankings. We’re looking forward to another exciting week of early spring baseball, as teams across the country continue to find their rhythm before conference play begins. Rk.

Ohio Valley All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

OHIO VALLEY REGION (IL, IN, KY, MI, OH) The Ohio Valley Region has a healthy amount of top-level talent, as it features five Perfect Game All-Americans in shortstop Ethan Bass, third baseman TJ McQuillan, two-way stand out Matt Ponatoski and right-handed pitchers Shawn Sullivan and Grayson Willoughby.  The 2027 class looks very strong as well, especially in Illinois. A couple of things are missing from the Ohio Valley All-Region team, though.  The first is the two best outfielders in the region, as 2027 Illinois outfielder Sebastian Wilson is attending IMG Academy in Florida and fellow 2027 outfielder Noah Goettke from Ohio is attending P27 Academy in South Carolina.  Also missing are any players from Michigan, which enjoyed a dominant run of top prospects in recent years largely behind the Lake Orchard St. Mary’s HS program.  2027 catcher Broder Katke (Brother...

College Players of the Week: Feb. 17

Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Tyce Armstrong, IF, Baylor Opening Day always has a special feel with the sights, sounds and smells bringing back memories of days gone by. But no one that made their way to Magnolia Field at Baylor Ballpark could have imagined what they would witness in the Baylor Bears first game against New Mexico State. Enter 6-4/228, redshirt senior 1B Tyce Armstrong with his power stroke and flare for the dramatic. Transferring in after a successful career at UT Arlington, the Magnolia, TX native would etch his name in the record books with an incredible day at the plate. Armstrong would hit three grand slams in the game, becoming just the second player in NCAA history to accomplish this feat in a single game. His three home runs tied a program record, and his 12 RBIs set a new standard for the Bears. Beyond that, Armstrong matched the 50-year-old record previously...
