National High School Top 50: March 26
 
The High School Top 50 returns this week after a wild set of action in Southern California during the Boras Classic. Orange Lutheran holds onto the top spot in the state following a 3-1 performance, as their only loss came to previous No. 21 Notre Dame in a one-run game, while JSerra returns to the rankings following their victory and perfect 4-0 record. JSerra's record is a bit misleading as they've played a tough schedule with more than half of their losses coming during a trip to Alabama earlier this spring. 

The top 5 now features IMG Academy (Fla.) holding onto the No. 1 spot with four Texas teams rounding out the top five. We've mentioned how 2019 looks to be a banner year for high school baseball in the Lone Star State and right now there's not much separation between Nos. 2-5 in the rankings with Colleyville Heritage, Lake Travis, Argyle and Cypress Ranch all looking very strong at the midway point of the season. 

Teams in the Midwest and Northeast are beginning to get going during their seasons and you can already see a shift in the rankings to reflect the undefeated starts of some preseason Top 50 teams such as No. 14 Christian Brothers College (Mo.), No. 22 St. Laurence (Ill.), and No. 28 Malvern Prep (Pa.). St. Augustine (N.J.) had a bit of an underwhelming start and dropped out of the rankings while No. 10 Delbarton (N.J.) opens their season this week at the National High School Invitational (NHSI). 

Nine of the 16 participants set to compete in Cary, N.C. are ranked teams in the Top 50 and they include No. 1 IMG Academy (Fla.), No. 6 Orange Lutheran (Calif.), No. 9 Blessed Trinity (Ga.), No. 10 Delbarton (N.J.), No. 14 Christian Brothers College (Mo.), No. 18 Harvard-Westlake (Calif.), No. 20 Desert Oasis (Nev.), No. 34 Corona Del Sol (Ariz.), and No. 43 Marist (Ill.) along with a bevy of other talented squads, including the runner-up to the Boras Classic South in La Mirada (Calif.). With so many ranked teams there are bound to be schools that move up or down based on their performance against elite competition, and Perfect Game will have you covered from Cary as David Rawnsley and Brian Sakowski will be on hand for all of the action.

New entries to the Top 50 include the previously mentioned JSerra at No. 40 along with No. 39 Winder-Barrow (Ga.), No. 42 Trinity (Ky.), No. 44 Aliso Niguel (Calif.) and No. 45 Bryant (Ark.). The season is really getting to the exciting part where nearly every part of the country is playing baseball and Perfect Game will be watching every step of the action.

High School Notebook: March 27

Hudson December (2027, Woodland Hills, Calif.) showed flashes of his upside despite a somewhat uneven three-inning outing. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-hander struck out three while working through a couple of tough jams, though his command was inconsistent at times. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph on a pair of occasions and generally sat in the 83–85 range. He mixed in an upper-70s slider with varying shape and execution where it was most effective when thrown with proper intent, showing shorter, tighter depth. He also flashed a changeup against a few left-handed hitters. Mechanically, there’s a blend of positives and areas for development. He incorporates his lower half fairly well and moves down the mound with some pace and intent. The arm is quick, though it can be late getting up at times, and his taller finish limits full torso extension through release. With...

Another strong week of Juco baseball for teams in our Top 25, and as you may see, our field is the same from a week prior with each and every team handling business in their weekend sets to hold fast to their spots on the board. Some notable movement though inside the Top 5 with Gaston jumping up to number 2 after a 33-2 start to the 2026 season as well Cloud County cracking the Top 15 for the first time all year. Looking forward to watching conference play around the country as we approach the final stretch of the regular season. Rk.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 25

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Every preseason, analysts and voters pour enormous effort into ranking the small college baseball landscape — poring over returning rosters, transfer additions, coaching changes, and historical trends to assemble the most accurate picture they can of who will be contending when the postseason arrives. And most years, they get it largely right. But the nature of college baseball, with its massive rosters, unpredictable development arcs, and ever-churning transfer portal, guarantees that a handful of genuinely elite programs will slip through the cracks every spring. A team loses too many seniors. A key transfer hasn’t yet suited up. A new coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to prove itself. The voters see the question marks and leave the blank space, and then the season begins and the blank space starts filling itself in — loudly. As the 2026 season heads into its...

College Players of the Week: March 24

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game. In the middle of it all, Quinton Coats, is on pace for a historic season both within the program and on a national level. The 6-3/225 infielder from Olathe, KS has been launching home runs at a record pace and opponents seem to be powerless to stop his onslaught. With incredible strength in his hands, Coats creates easy loft and in 5 road games last week he collected 9 hits in 20 at-bats, with 4 home runs, 9 runs scored, and he drove in a total of 9 runs as well. As for his pursuit of history, the modern day BBCOR bat standard single season home run record is 34, set back in...

The Georgia native possesses tremendous upside on the mound, working from a long and lean right-handed frame that displays projection and athleticism. Jones starts over the face before working to the belt and into a higher pronounced leg lift. He fires down the mound via a standard-length arm action and high three-quarters slot. Chubb’s fastball/slider combination and feel for the zone, with the heater showcasing run/ride traits and power into the high-90s....

College Top 25: March 23

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....
