Coming into the weekend we knew there was a lot at stake. There were six series involving ranked teams, including a rare No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup that saw UCLA take on Stanford at Sunken Diamond. UCLA scored double-digit runs in games two and three after losing the first game of the series, doing so against a pitching staff that had the best ERA in all of Division I baseball. As a result UCLA retains the No. 1 position, a position they have now held for nearly a month. Stanford didn't fall far, moving down to sixth given their still plenty-impressive resume of success.

For the second week in a row we have a new No. 2 team. Georgia gets the nod this week after their impressive series victory over Vanderbilt. Georgia moves to 9-3 in the SEC, the best mark in the stacked conference, with no shortage of statement wins.

LSU, East Carolina and Ole Miss all move into the Top 10 as the new Nos. 8-10 teams. Arkansas is right behind them at No. 11. LSU has now beat Mississippi State and Texas A&M on consecutive weekends, East Carolina has won 16 of their last 18 games and already have a commanding lead in the American Athletic Conference, Ole Miss enjoys a big jump up after beating Arkansas and Florida on back-to-back weekends while Arkansas bounced back with a big series win over Auburn.

After spending the entire 2018 regular season – and even heading into the postseason – in the No. 1 position, the Florida Gators are now 4-8 in SEC play, losing three of four weekend series, two of which were sweeps. As a result Florida falls out of the Perfect Game College Top 25 for the first time in a long time.

Outside of NC State, who moves up to No. 4 this week, the ACC continues to be an enigma. North Carolina and Louisville already have series losses to both Clemson and Georgia Tech this season. As a result Georgia Tech is the newest entrant to the rankings, debuting at No. 20, one spot behind the Tigers and just ahead of both the Tar Heels and the Cardinals.

Due to the college basketball national champion Perfect Game College Baseball, and Perfect Game College Softball, will not be on the air this evening. Both programs will return to their normally scheduled time slots a week from today, Monday, April 15, from 9-11 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. to midnight ET on SiriusXM channel 84 ESPNU Radio. Learn more about both programs here.


Also considered: Michigan, Baylor, Florida Atlantic.

14u WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2030 SS Cash Kelly (Franklin, Tenn.) is a buzzing name this summer as someone who is off to a fast start and looks the part as one of the better pure hitters in this class. He’s very comfortable in the box, showing an innate feel to find the barrel (and limit swing-and-miss) while the hands are fast and he can really accelerate the barrel. Defensively he has been excellent making plays look easy, showing nice range and enough arm for the left side. Add in the fact that he’s a strong runner and you have someone that can impact the game a ton. 2030 SS/RHP Trey Vandergriff (Milton, Ga.) got a couple innings of work at the back end of East Cobb’s first game and looked awesome, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced with big stuff. He sat 85-88, showing dynamic arm speed and a really athletic delivery, while the breaking ball feel stood out, showing he can land it in any...

MLB Draft Reports: 400-500

Michael Albee
Article Image
MLB Draft Board: Top 500 400. Michael Barnett, RHP, UCLA R-R, 6-4/210, Lafayette, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Michael Barnett has started games over the last four years for the Bruins, including 44 starts over the past three seasons. The fastball does not overpower hitters, but can generate ground balls at a high rate. A heavy fading changeup is the primary secondary pitch and plus offering. Barnett will use it often and miss bats at a high clip with it. A low-80’s slider adds a third offering. Barnett does not generate a ton of strikeouts, but pounds the zone and fills innings.  401. Connor Marshburn, RHP, UNC Wilmington R-R, 6-6/240, Cary, NC Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Connor Marshburn features an XL frame at 6-foot-6, 240-pounds.

Road to the 2026 17U BCS Title

Emily Hicks
Article Image
This weekend, 11 teams will take the field for the 2026 17U BCS Challenge, a three-day event that brings together programs from across the country for a full slate of pool play and bracket action. With games beginning Friday and a champion crowned Sunday, the format leaves little room for slow starts, making every inning important from the opening pitch. The field features a mix of established programs and rising teams. With so many evenly matched rosters, there’s not much separation heading into the weekend, which puts importance on pitching depth, defensive consistency, and timely hitting. Pool play will quickly determine seeding, and even one loss can shift a team’s path heading into bracket play. One of the teams expected to be in the mix is Hawaii Elite 2G 17U National, a group that is 6-3 overall and ranked as “Honorable Mention” on the Perfect Games...
