National High School Top 50: May 7
 
With the penultimate edition of the PG HS Top 50 there is a new No. 1 for only the third time this season as Cypress (Calif.) ran the table during the CIF Southern Section playoffs to capture a state championship and the honor of being the No. 1 team in the land. Cypress had to push through numerous talented teams to achieve the title, including La Mirada and Harvard-Westlake in the final two games of the season, and Perfect Game offers their congratulations to the Centurions. 

With regards to state championships, numerous other PG Top 50 teams captured state titles over the past two weeks including No. 4 Blanchard (Okla.), No. 5 DeSoto Central (Miss.), No. 8 Barbe (La.), No. 12 Hamilton (Ariz.), No. 14 Benedictine (Va.) and No. 25 Silo (Okla.), with both Oklahoma schools finishing with perfect records. Many more state titles will come over the next few weeks and some new schools to the rankings also have captured titles. 

The biggest turnover of the season has occurred in this week's rankings with 11 new teams which includes No. 26 McGill-Toolen (Ala.), No. 30 Loganville (Ga.), No. 31 Miami Springs (Fla.), No. 32 Collierville (Tenn.), No. 35 Kingwood (Texas), No. 37 Calvary Christian (Fla.), No. 39 St. John's (D.C.), No. 43 Tampa Jesuit (Fla.), No. 44 Mason (Ohio), No. 46 DH Conley (N.C.) and No. 47 Bob Jones (Ala.) Calvary Christian, Tampa Jesuit and Bob Jones all rejoin the rankings while McGill-Toolen, Loganville and St. John's have all captured their state championships. 

Congratulations to all state champions and best of luck to those still competing, as for Perfect Game we will have you covered with our final Top 50 rankings in mid-June. Along with those rankings will be our High School State Players of the Year and if you'd like to recommend a player for his state award please contact Vincent Cervino at vincent@perfectgame.org.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...

Following a dominant week at the 17u PG East World Series, No. 34 ranked 643 DP Cougars 17u capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating No. 2 ranked East Cobb Astros 17u, 3-2, in the championship game to claim the title. The Cougars earned the tournament's No. 1 overall seed after outscoring opponents by an absurd 59-6 throughout the week before completing their championship run with a hard-fought victory in the finale. “Always feels great to finish the year playing your best ball, especially when going up against strong competition,” 643 Head Coach Danny Pralgo said. “We did so many of the little things right: on the mound with location, clean on defense, bunting, 2 strike approach leading to long at bats, getting hit-by-pitches, and we had so many good outs offensively that led to moving a runner or scoring a runner. And when those things all come together in...

Hortenbury was probably one of my personal favorites, as this was my first time seeing it in action. It’s an athletic two-way profile that has a chance to do both at the next level. But what stood out to me, was his potential on the mound. The left-handed pitcher moves very well and is comfortable there.
