HS Rankings Update: May 4

High School baseball is at its peak right now and we are steaming toward the summer circuit with this latest update being in the month of May. The playoff atmosphere is electric all over the Southeast as upsets have taken place, walk-off wins have come in bunches and big-time matchups begin to set up. We’re in as exciting a time as ever in the baseball landscape and we’re setting up for a strong close to the spring here in the next month or so.

There’s not a ton of movement throughout the rankings this week as all the ranked teams that have started playoffs breezed through district play or their opening round matchups, while in many other places our ranked teams have continued to win. No. 1 Buford (Ga.) took care of business with a sweep in round one, while No. 3 Thousand Oaks (Calif.) moved to 16-0 on the year with pretty comfortable wins to open up 8-0 in league play. Barbe (La.) gets to move up a spot to No. 4 heading into the state quarterfinals as now-No. 5 Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.) suffered their first loss of the season in a tough one-run game. No changes after that until No. 13 where Baylor (Tenn.) moved up a spot after a good win over formerly ranked Farragut.



Some small changes throughout the rest of the top-40 as some teams who lost slipped back a bit making room for teams in the Southeast, Texahoma, and California regions to move up a couple spots a piece. Four new teams join the rankings this week, starting with No. 45 Wilson West Lawn (Pa.) who is 14-1 and is perfect in conference play so far. Ayala (Calif.) comes in at No. 48 with a 13-1 (7-0) record in the Palomares League, Bishop Eustace Prep (N.J.) comes in at No. 49 shortly after talented senior left-hander Anthony Solometo no-hit a ranked Don Bosco team and Bainbridge (Wash.) checks back in at the end of the rankings after starting out 14-1.

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic.

'27 SS Moises Gudino (FL) continues to stay red hot, working a long AB & cracking an oppo 2B on the 8th pitch.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...
