HS Rankings Update: May 25

It’s only been a week since the last rankings update, but with state titles starting to be claimed in places all over the country, we’ve got major shakeups throughout the Top 50 this week. We don’t see a change at the top, as Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) won their second consecutive Florida 7A title in impressive fashion, 10-0 in title game, and finishes their season at a record of 30-2 with some impressive wins over the course of the spring. Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.) continues to knock on the door, now at 34-0 as they near their playoff stretch in Michigan. It’s a new face at No. 3 as Hamilton (Ariz.) finished out claiming the 5A State Title in Arizona, also in impressive fashion and closing out a strong resume out West. IMG Academy (Fla.) sits at No. 4 in this recent update while JSerra Catholic (Calif.) climbs all the way up to No. 5 after winning their first Southern Section title and avenging an otherwise tough start to the year.

Some new faces litter the rest of the top-10 as Providence (N.C.) moves to 31-0 on the year and sits just a single win away from their state championship game, while Rockwall-Heath (Texas) moves up to No. 7 after staying alive in the 6A Texas playoffs and Hartselle (Ala.) climbs up to No. 8 after winning the 6A State Title in Alabama. Orange Lutheran (Calif.) and Bishop Gorman (Nev.) round out the top-10 for now, with tons of talent on their rosters and impressive resumes, although they fell short in their respective chases for titles.

Plenty of movers fill out the next batch of teams in the rankings and they are as follows: Berkeley Prep (Fla.) is up to No. 11 as they play for a state title in Florida this week, Jackson Prep (Miss.) is up to No. 13 as they claimed their fifth-straight state title, North Oconee (Ga.) is all the way up to No. 14 after winning the 4A state title in Georgia with a record of 39-1, Lake Travis (Texas) is up to No. 15 after they continue to push forward in the Texas playoffs, Tampa Jesuit (Fla.) surges all the way up to No. 17 after claiming the 5A Florida state title and Central Phenix (Ala.) moves all the way up to No. 19 after winning the 7A state title in Alabama to go with their High School Showdown championship earlier this spring.

Seven new teams joined the rankings this week as teams’ resumes continue to either improve or they claim titles in their respective states: Doral Academy (Fla.) at No. 40 after winning the 6A title in Florida, Pope (Ga.) at No. 41 after winning the 6A title in Georgia, Basic (Nev.) at No. 42 after winning the 5A title in Nevada, Charlotte Christian (N.C.) at No. 43 after winning a 4A title in North Carolina, Woodstock (Ga.) at No. 45 after winning the 7A title in Georgia, Ridge Point (Texas) at No. 49 after knocking off Tompkins to advance in the 6A playoffs in Texas and American Fork (Utah) at No. 50 after advancing deep into the 6A playoffs in Utah.

With just a few weeks left in the season around the country, as most of the Northern states move into their respective playoffs, we move closer to our end of season awards, which will include crowning a National Champion, a final High School Top 50, the top team and player in each state, and National Player of the Year awards with a release date yet to be formally set.

The 6-foot-5 215-pound right-hander has pitched to a 0.97 ERA this spring with 78 punchouts over 36 innings of work.

East Memorial Day Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Perfect Game Staff

‘27 IF Braylon Sheffield (FL) with an absolute 🚀 here, launching high off the RCF wall for a 3B. Super polished LH stick; hit over .400 last year on the circuit. #GoHoos commit. #EastMemorial pic.twitter.com/mdehqpR5v5 — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) May 23, 2026 Braylon Sheffield (2027, Fort Myers, Fla.) got the event started with the loudest swing of the night on Friday at Terry Park, rocketing a triple off the wall in the stadium. Sheffield, ranked 121 and committed to Virginia, is a super polished left-handed hitter with left side of the infield projection long term. The swing is tension-free with loose wrists and he generates easy bat speed with already present power to the pull side. This blast came inches away from being a home run and hitting a ball that far at Terry Park stadium is a significant shot. Sheffield also tripled in his second game of the weekend at...

West Memorial Day Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Tyler Henninger

Colton Floyd (‘27,AZ) just misses a HR here. Can really impact the baseball & shows over the fence power potential. Took 3 QAB’s today. He’s the #1 ranked 3B in the state and #4 in the country. #MDWest https://t.co/ReMh7D0v4y pic.twitter.com/w1dzssSy8N — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) May 23, 2026 Colton Floyd, 3B, Chandler, AZ. Canes West National (2027) Floyd is a high-upside prospect with physical tools and burgeoning power. His combination of size, bat speed, and raw strength makes him one of the top power-hitting third basemen in the country. Currently ranked the #1 third baseman in Arizona and #4 nationally in his class. With continued refinement of his approach and defensive consistency, he has all the ingredients to be a middle-of-the-order bat at Texas A&M and a legitimate MLB Draft prospect JJ Utash (‘27,AZ) with a triple here....

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 65

Ron Wolforth

The Insidious Lie That Hurts Pitchers Thep Most How many of you have ever had a terrible outing and afterward couldn’t really explain what went wrong? And how many of you have ever had a great outing and couldn’t explain what you did differently either? That gap between what is happening and your awareness of what is happening may be one of the most important gaps in player development. Closing that gap has a name. It is called metacognition. In simple terms, metacognition means thinking about your thinking. It is the ability to understand how you learn, how you perform, how you respond under pressure, and how you make adjustments when things are not going your way. For a pitcher, that matters because no matter how good your coach is, he cannot stand on the mound with you. Your coach cannot take the ball with the bases loaded, two outs, and the best hitter in the league...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: May 20

Nick Herfordt

There is a reason the preseason pick to win it all rarely does. College baseball's postseason is a gauntlet — double elimination, best-of-three’s, then a full World Series format — and the team that looks unbeatable in February has to prove it again in May against opponents who have had just as long to get ready. Plenty of programs have entered the tournament as the obvious favorite and gone home early. It happens every year. Nobody should be shocked when it does. Top-ranked teams flaming out in regional weekends happens so many times it has become its own genre of schadenfreude Which makes this particular moment worth noting. The Perfect Game preseason picks to win the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III national titles — Tennessee Wesleyan, UT Tyler, and the University of Lynchburg — are all still alive heading into the final rounds. All three...

Coppy's Corner: May 21 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level. Co-Player of the Week: Carson Tinney – University of Texas As a Notre Dame alumnus, it pained me to see Tinney transfer from the Golden Dome to the University of Texas after an All-American sophomore season for the Irish. He’s picked up in Austin right where he left off in South Bend and is currently hitting .321 AVG, 20 HR, .475 OBP / .695 SLG / 1.170 OPS on the 2026 season. It’s plus right-handed power and a plus arm; with the numbers I have found indicating that Tinney has erased more than half of attempted base stealers over the past two seasons of college baseball. Tinney threw...

Best of the Best Event Preview

Jheremy Brown

In simplistic terms, the Best of The Best tournament is an absolute gauntlet as seemingly every game brings a playoff game atmosphere. Coaches must strategically map out their pitching to ensure they can get through Pool Play while also making sure they have arms to make a deep playoff run. Each and every age group is loaded with the best teams, composed of some of the best players that travel baseball has to offer. The 9u & 10u age groups will respectively have 9 out of the Top 10 Teams within the latest PG National Team Rankings participating in the event. At 9U, LTP-Reign will look to hold on to their #1 ranking but will have plenty of competition with the likes of ZT National Prospects and HTX-Wildcatters 9U looking to take over that #1 spot. In the 10u age group, Elevate National will look to fend off plenty of talent with #2 ranked Kaos National, East Cobb Astros and ZT...

College Players of the Week: May 19

Vincent Cervino

May 19th Perfect Game/Co-Players of the Week: Carson Tinney, C, Texas The Texas Longhorns just finished off another stellar regular season and are heading to Hoover for the SEC Conference Tournament as the No. 2 Seed this week. To secure their 2nd place finish, they had to sweep Missouri at home last weekend and did so in large part to the power bat of Carson Tinney. The 6-4/240 catcher from Castle Pines, CO transferred to Austin after two sensational seasons at Notre Dame and has thrived in his draft year. In the 3-game set, Tinney collected 7 hits in 13 at-bats, scoring 5 runs, with a double, 3 home runs and he drove in 10 runs all told. With some of the most prodigious power in the college game this year, Tinney is now slashing .321/.695/.473 with 10 doubles an incredible 20 home runs and 54 RBIs while playing in the most spacious ballpark in the...
