2019 High School Baseball Preview Content

As the football season came to a close last night, the 2019 high school baseball season is once again upon us as teams throughout the Southeast and West Coast are already out and practicing in anticipation of opening day. Perfect Game will once again be with you through every step of this high school season with rankings that will be updated regularly throughout the spring.

Argyle (Texas) remains at No. 1 following their final ranking atop the Top 50 a year ago as the Eagles put together an undefeated season and a state championship. A good portion of that starting lineup returns a bevy of Division I commits, and most notably a deep senior class. IMG Academy (Fla.) joins the rankings at the No. 2 spot thanks to their elite, roster-headlining talent that includes PG All-Americans Rece Hinds, Brennan Malone and Kendall Williams, among others. Potential 1:1 pick Bobby Witt Jr. leads No. 3 Colleyville Heritage (Texas), a team that features fellow All-American Logan Britt and another very deep senior class. No. 4 Orange Lutheran (Calif.) is once again stacked and will be led by the transfer of PG All-American Garrett Frechette along with their all-world junior starting pitchers in Max Rajcic and Christian Rodriguez. Blessed Trinity (Ga.) rounds out the Top 5 as they have athleticism up and down the lineup, including PG All-American CJ Abrams. 

The rest of the rankings include 22 states throughout the country with Florida and California boasting the most teams with eight each. Texas comes in third with six ranked teams while Georgia ranks fourth with three teams represented in the Top 50. These rankings are sure to fluctuate as the season continues on as Southeast, Florida, and Pacific teams will be starting before February is finished. The Midwest and Northeast states will hopefully get going towards the end of March, weather-permitting. 

The race is on once again in 2019 as Argyle will look to defend it's PG National Championship and No. 1 ranking, though there are many capable teams of that crown, even some who might not even be ranked in the Preseason Top 50. Be sure to follow along with Perfect Game throughout the spring as we will be providing not only the Top 50 rankings but also scouting reports with the return of the weekly High School Notebook.

Class of 2027 Rankings Risers

Article Image
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 |...

Hannah Jo Groves
Article Image
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...

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

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

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...
