For the most part, at least relative to previous weeks to this point of the season, it was a rough week for ranked teams. Thirteen of the 25 teams lost their weekend series and eight teams lost midweek contests. Two teams ended up getting removed from the Top 25 with two new teams taking their place. The middle of the rankings were especially difficult to sort through as 10 of the teams ranked from the Nos. 8-19 positions from a week ago had losing weeks, making it more challenging to move teams up and down.

Making a big move up is Louisville, a team that was one week removed from a series loss at Clemson. The Cardinals were profiled in our weekend preview as a team that needed to make a statement for their own postseason resume and they did just that, and then some. The bats particularly came to life, out-scoring NC State 34-15.

The other team enjoy a big jump is UC Santa Barbara, a team that swept Big West foe UC Irvine over the weekend and moved to 27-5 in the process. The Gauchos also won their midweek contest over a solid Pepperdine team, giving them a 4-0 week as they move into the Top 10 at the No. 9 position.

Texas A&M also moves into the Top 10 (No. 8) after beating Auburn. With a tie to their credit, the 9-5 Aggies are one-half game behind 10-5 Mississippi State in the SEC West standings and one-half ahead of 9-6 Arkansas, Ole Miss and LSU, who are all bundled together from 10-12 in the toughest division in all of college baseball.

With Georgia falling to Tennessee, Mississippi State reclaims the No. 2 position after becoming the first team to reach 30 wins. They swept Alabama, went 4-0 on the week and now sit with the best record in all of college baseball at 31-6. UCLA remains in the top spot with a convincing series sweep over East Carolina, not to mention a midweek win over UC Irvine, further strengthening their No. 1 position in the RPI rankings as well as they continue to show their dominance.

For the third time this year Clemson has been removed from the Top 25. Their on-and-off ways make them a very difficult team to gauge as they show a completely different product from one week to the next. This week they were swept by a Florida State team that appeared to be reeling and will look for their next opportunity to jump back in.

Coastal Carolina also was removed from the Top 25 this week after losing their second Sun Belt series in three weeks. The Chanticleers have also lost nine of their last 14 games and will have a difficult time forcing their way back into the rankings between now and the end of the regular season.

New to the rankings are West Virginia and Tennessee. Not only do both teams have impressive RPI figures (No. 12 and 8, respectively), they also added big series wins to their postseason resumes over the weekend. For the third weekend in a row WVU took down a significant Big 12 opponent, beating Texas Tech after defeating Oklahoma State and Oklahoma the previous two. Tennessee took down previously second-ranked Georgia, and while their 6-9 SEC record isn't very compelling, their sheer win total (26-11) is and they deserve a chance to prove they belong.

Mason Bicht (‘29 PA) stays hot, nukes this ball to dead CF for a Grand Slam💣 clear juice being put on display today #WWBANEChamp@PG_Scouting https://t.co/l24AwJ8RnB pic.twitter.com/iYgNvJcD2M — Perfect Game Mid-Atlantic (@PGMidAtlantic) June 13, 2026 Mason Bicht (2029 Lansdale, PA) was an absolute force offensively over the course of the WWBA Northeast Championship, ultimately ending his event with a well deserved most valuable player award. Finishing with a .571 BA including five doubles, a HR, and 14 RBI, the 6-foot-1, 210 pound prospect simply refused to get out, and was a major reason why his Philly Bandits squad walked away champs Monday afternoon. The stance for Bicht is relaxed and balanced with loose hands and plenty of bat speed to be found. He generates effortless carry to the pull side & middle of the field, flashing clear jump off the barrel with leverage created...

VSA, Swamp Crowned Co-Champs After Nine-Inning Battle After three and a half hours under the hot Florida sun, VSA Sluggers 18 and Swamp Baseball’s City of Palms Championship battle ended in fitting fashion, with both teams sharing the title. The two teams remained tied 9-9 through nine innings before lightning in the area brought the championship matchup to a halt Monday afternoon. The two local programs have built a competitive rivalry, with several close matchups stemming from their proximity and familiarity with each other. Their history was evident throughout Monday’s matchup as emotions ran high, resulting in several heated exchanges and the eventual ejection of Swamp head coach Brian Porvaznik. Just three weeks earlier, the two teams met in the championship game of the BCS Qualifier, where VSA earned a 6-4 victory. Swamp entered Monday’s matchup looking to flip...

Ian Long (2026, Fort Myers, Fla.), a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-handed pitcher, came out firing for Swamp Baseball and ran his fastball up to 87 mph through the first inning.

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

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.
