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.)
• John Curtis Christian (La.)
• Vianney (Mo.)

High School Top 50 Update: April 21

Tyler Russo

Another few weeks have wrapped up this high school season as we’re flying through the spring and most southern states are starting playoffs right around the corner. With the end of the regular season, we have another National Top 50 update to bring to you, along with this will be the start of the weekly editions of our National Top 50. We have a change at the top of the rankings as Venice (FL) takes over the top spot after just dominating their competition in the state of Florida this year. Orange Lutheran (CA) drops one spot to No. 2 after dropping a series but still holds firm at No. 2 in the country. Barbe (LA) has continued to dominate and holds onto the No. 3 spot while Tomball (TX) skyrockets in this update to No. 4 in the country, currently holding an incredible 30-0-1 record. The rest of the top-10 is names we’ve become accustomed to see with Aledo (TX) at No. 5, IMG...

PG Softball Battle for the Belt

Perfect Game Softball Battle for the Belt April 18-19, 2026 Des Moines, Iowa It was a cold and very windy weekend, but the girls still came out and put in their best efforts. If you wanted the place to see some of the state’s top talent, this was the tournament to be at. The 18u division was quite the slugfest! The Ankeny Centennial 18U -Kennedy team took down a tough Iowa Alliance Select-Benge team in the championship. Both teams had double digit homeruns on the weekend. In the 16u division the Iowa Aries CE Fire Black took control of the game from the start and never let up on the gas, taking down a solid Alliance Select- Harper team. 18U Division Kori Lincicum (2026 Ankeny, IA) of the Centennial Jaguars- Kennedy and Drake Bulldog softball commit was the weekends MVP Pitcher. Lincicum defeated a tough Alliance team in the championship game finishing with that game with 11...

JUCO Top 25: April 22

Blaine Peterson

Another week down and Johnson County continues their torrid run to remain at number 1. They're 46-2 on the season with multiple hitters over 25 bombs which is astonishing for the level as the Cavs have announced themselves as title favorites. Just a couple of weeks left heading down the stretch and our field remains mostly the same with the two additions of midwest powerhouse Iowa Western and the Warriors of East Central who will have a tough test Wednesday in Poplarville against fellow Mississippi adversary Pearl River in a mid-week double header. Rk.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 22

Nick Herfordt

The final weeks of the college baseball regular season have a way of separating programs that are genuinely postseason-ready from those that have simply been good enough for long enough. Conference tournaments loom, selection committees are paying close attention, and every game on the schedule carries weight that it simply didn't in February. This week's action, combined with the latest Perfect Game Top 25, paints a picture of a college baseball landscape where the top is clearly defined — and where the middle is a genuine battle. What follows is a cross-level look at teams across the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III ranks who find themselves in that uncomfortable space: not safely in, not clearly out, but firmly on the bubble. Some have built compelling résumés that should hold up under scrutiny. Others have excellent records against soft competition...

Southeast Super NIT #2 Scout Notes

Jason Phillips

Chase Jelks (‘30 GA)- with a long double to deep CF. Huge day from the primary SS, 5-for-6 w/ 4 doubles & 6 RBI. #SESuperNIT @TheDreamBall @PG_Georgia https://t.co/biFSzXCrUt pic.twitter.com/HCQMduedb5 — Perfect Game Youth (@PGYouthBB) April 20, 2026 Chase Jelks (’30, Atlanta, Ga.)- the left-handed hitting Jelks was all over the barrel on Sunday in a pair of games for The Dream 14U Black. He finished the day with five hits in six at-bats which included four doubles and six runs batted in. His two doubles and four runs batted in played a big part in the Gold Playoffs Round 1 victory over the talented BPA squad out of California. He backed up that performance with three more hits in a quarterfinal’s loss to the East Cobb Astros 14U Orange to finish the tournament with a .600 batting average and 1.636 on-base plus slugging percentage. A primary utility infielder,...

College Players of the Week: April 21

Vincent Cervino

April 21st Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Tague Davis, IF, Louisville The Louisville Cardinals (22-18) haven’t been able to get themselves in much of a groove this spring, their longest winning streak is 5-games, and they are (4-6) in their last 10-games. The issue has not been the offense as the Cardinals are averaging over 8-runs per game and Tague Davis is leading the club in virtually every offensive category. His calling card is his 70-grade power and that was on display last weekend in their series against Cal. In the three-game series, Davis went 7 for 12, scoring 4 runs, launching 5 home runs and collected 7 RBIs. The 6-4/220 lefthanded hitter from West Chester, PA has a pure stroke, is one of the premier power hitters in the nation and has significantly improved his plate discipline from a year ago. After his big weekend, he is...

College Top 25: April 20

Vincent Cervino

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end” and that was the case last Tuesday when UCLA (36-3) saw their 27-game win streak come to an end in a shutout loss to UCSB. However, the No. 1 team in the land still has their 21-game winning streak in Big Ten to protect, as they have started off league play without a single blemish. The Bruins will remain atop our poll this week and their historical start to the season roll on. The UNC Tarheels (33-7-1) move up to No. 2 this week after they made their biggest statement of the year by taking the weekend series from now No. 4 Georgia Tech (32-7). No. 3 Texas (30-8) and No. 5 Georgia (32-9) both went (3-1) on the week and won their SEC series to stay in contention for the regular season title. Florida State (28-11) had a nice bounce back (4-0) week and re-enter the Top 10 at No. 8 this...

Coppy's Corner: April 16 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level. Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...
