2020 High School Preview Index

Team Breakdowns: 1-1011-2021-3031-4041-50

The final 10 teams have been unveiled, and, as such, there is a Preseason High School Top 50. In total, there are 50 teams from 19 different states with Florida and California leading the way with 10 teams and nine teams, respectively. Florida and California also represent the first two teams in the rankings in Tampa Jesuit (Fla.) at No. 1 and Notre Dame (Calif.) at No. 2. This goes to show that the talent-rich states are especially deep this year, including the top team in the land. 

Between the Top 50 teams there are 18 defending state champions, led by Tampa Jesuit. The top five includes DeSoto Central (Miss.) at No. 3, North Gwinnett (Ga.) at No. 4, and JSerra (Calif.) at No. 5. There is a ton of talent with the teams in the Top 50 which includes 15 total PG All-Americans represented throughout these teams. Blaze Jordan is on the highest-ranked team that includes PG All-Americans while Harvard-Westlake at No. 9 includes the only duo of PG All-Americans in Pete Crow-Armstrong and Drew Bowser. 

As always with the high school season, there are a number of high profile events to keep an eye on that will feature a ton of ranked teams. The PG High School Showdown features nine preseason ranked teams and will take place March 5-7 in Hoover, Ala. The National High School Invitational (NHSI) features 12 preseason ranked teams and will take place April 1-4 in Cary, N.C. The Boras Classic South will feature five preseason ranked teams, all from Southern California, on April 14-17. 

Region-wise the top-ranked team in each region are as follows:

• Florida: No. 1 Tampa Jesuit
• Pacific: No. 2 Notre Dame (Calif.)
• Southeast: No. 3 DeSoto Central (Miss.)
• Texahoma: No. 7 Southlake Carroll (Texas)
• Southwest: No. 14 Palo Verde (Nev.)
• Midwest: No. 19 Orchard Lake St. Mary's (Mich.)
• Northeast: No. 23 St. Augustine Prep (N.J.)
• Great Plains: No. 40 Regis Jesuit (Colo.)
• Northwest: No. 41 Jesuit (Ore.)
• Mid-Atlantic: No. 43 Chapin (S.C.)

The season is already beginning with spring practices and scrimmages in full swing throughout most of the country. Perfect Game covers the entire country and will be on hand for all of the action. As always, as the action unfolds be sure to send over highlights, home runs, great plays, or anything of that nature over to us on Twitter @vcervinoPG, @PG_Scouting, or @PerfectGameUSA.

Mid-Atlantic All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

The Mid-Atlantic Region lost its only Perfect Game All-American when catcher Andrew Costello left his Pennsylvania high school early and enrolled at Wake Forest for the spring semester.  The Region ends up being dominated by underclassmen, with seven juniors and even a pair of talented sophomores getting recognition. The story of the spring could very well be watching the young power arms in the Region come outdoors and show their talents on the mound.  Pennsylvania juniors Cole Kuhn and Trent Lutz have been getting lots of off-season attention along with New Jersey senior Alex Weingartner. New Jersey has a trio of high schools represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 High School Rankings.  Delbarton HS, behind a very strong junior class, leads the group at 29th overall, followed DePaul Catholic HS at 41st and Gloucester Catholic at 46th.

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

2026 Staff Picks: College Edition

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
