High School Preseason Top 50: 50-41 | 40-31

30. Puyallup (Puyallup, Wash.)
 2023 Record: 25-6
Head Coach: Marc Wiese
Notable Prospect(s): C Kailand Halstead (Oregon St), LHP Michael Lejeune (Gonzaga), SS Mason Pike (Oregon St), SS Gage Thompson (Oregon St), OF Riley Sanoy, OF Noah Benedict, SS Max Hemenway (Tennessee), SS Brayden Landry



Coming off yet another strong season where they played for a state championship and won their 15th straight league title, this team looks primed and ready to go in 2024. There’s high end talent in all four grad classes, led by seniors Kailand Halstead and Michael Lejeune. Juniors Mason Pike, Gage Thompson, and Riley Sanoy bring dynamic athleticism to the roster. Pike, a top-30 talent in the country, will also be one of the arms relied upon this year. They also have plenty of talent coming up in Noah Benedict, Max Hemenway and Brayden Landry. The roster is solid from top to bottom as they look to claim their first state championship since 2017. 


29. Huntington Beach (Huntington Beach, Calif.)
 2023 Record: 21-9
Head Coach: Benjamin Medure
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Nathan Aceves (UCSB), SS Matt Hansen (BYU), C Trent Grindlinger (Mississippi State), 3B Ethan Porter (Oregon St), SS Linkin Garcia (Vanderbilt), OF Trevor Goldenetz (TCU), RHP Tyler Bellerose, 1B John Petrie III (Oregon St), SS Cole Clark, C Jayton Greer (USD), RHP Otto Espinoza (Ohio State), RHP Jake Frohn, 2B Cole “CJ” Weinstein, OF Owen Bone, 1B/LHP Jared Grindlinger (TCU), OF Tanner Brown (TCU)

Even with losing a first-round talent in Raffaele Velazquez from the 2023 roster, the Oilers bring back a talented core looking to run through yet another tough schedule. Nathan Aceves is in line to lead a talented rotation. Mississippi State commit Trent Grindlinger is one of the best defensive backstops in the country and will be an impact bat in the middle of the lineup. Speaking of the lineup they have one of the most potent in the country with power-5 commits up and down it. They have supreme talent in the older groups with some more coming in Jared Grindlinger and Tanner Brown both with a chance to impact early on in their high school careers. 


28. Doral Academy (Doral, Fla.)
 2023 Record: 24-7
Head Coach: Ralph Suarez
Notable Prospect(s): OF Michael Torres (Miami), C Alejandro Ludeiro (Lipsomb), SS Antonio Socarras (Pitt), C Hector Roca, OF Sebastian Berrios (FIU), OF Jadyn Nunez (UNC), 2B Gabriel Milano (Miami), OF Leandro Hernandez, OF George Pardo, RHP Marcelo Rodriguez (Arizona St), SS Kobe Carrion, OF Gavin Ruvalcaba

The Firebirds captured their first state championship in school history in 2022 and came two wins away from capturing their second in 2023. The return a veteran core that will be trying to avenge that loss from a season ago. The offense is littered with high end talent led by seniors Michael Torres, Alejando Ludeiro, Antonio Socarras, Hector Roca, and Sebastian Berrios. The list doesn’t stop there as they also have four top-500 talents in their junior class as well that will be key parts of the offense. On the mound they will be led by Jose Roig and Marcelo Rodriguez, both have experience in big moments. The offense will lead the way for this team as they look to get back to Fort Myers in 2024. 


27. Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, Calif.)
 2023 Record: 22-9
Head Coach: Gary Remiker
Notable Prospect(s): SS Anthony Perritano (USC), OF Elijah Selga (SDSU), C Michael Podstreleny (UC Irvine), OF Jack McWilliams (USD), RHP Trey Telfer (Indiana), 3B Johnny Rocco, SS Vincent Venverloh (USD), OF Benjamin Trey Gudoy (UCLA), SS Alex Harrington (Stanford), OF Hunter Harrington (Stanford), 1B Maxwell Stewart

Coming off a great campaign in 2023 that saw them finish first in the league, the Dons return a big chunk of their production from a season ago. They come into the 2024 season with high expectations as they can run out one of the top lineups in the state. They are led by a strong group of seniors, led by Anthony Perritano, Elijah Selga, Michael Podstreleny, and Jack McWilliams. They’ll get good production from junior outfielder Benjamin Trey Gudoy along with sophomores Alex Harrington and Hunter Harrington. On the mound they’ll be headlined by Indiana commit Trey Telfer. The amount of firepower in this offense should keep them in almost any game they play in this season. 


26. Valley View (Jonesboro, Ark.)
 2023 Record: 27-5
Head Coach: Josh Allison
Notable Prospect(s): OF Slade Caldwell (Ole Miss), RHP Lance Davis (Arkansas), RHP Eli Crecelius (Arkansas), C Lawson Ward (Arizona St), SS Andrew Gartman (Arkansas St), C Keaton Mathis (Arkansas), OF Owen Roach

The Blazers were a win away from winning their first state championship since 2021 a season ago and return the most talented roster in the state. They are led by top-20 player in the country and PG All-American Slade Caldwell. The offense boasts two other Power 5 commitments in Lawson Ward and Keaton Mathis along with Arkansas State commit Andrew Gartman. This offense has firepower that will be able to put up runs quickly. This doesn’t take away from their ability to pitch as they’ll be able to run out two dominant arms in Lance Davis and Eli Crecelius, an impressive one-two punch at the top of the rotation. Safe to say they are the favorites to win the state championship in 2024. 


25. Houston County (Warner Robins, Ga.)
 2023 Record: 37-6
Head Coach: Matt Hopkins
Notable Prospect(s): C Eli Stephens (Mercer), RHP Brooks Willis, 3B Kai Decker (Mercer), RHP Camden Cunningham (Georgia Highlands), LHP Carson Small (Pensacola State), OF Vick Gann

This program is coming off one of their best years ever, winning the 6A state title in 2023 with some impressive series wins over tough opponents. They lose a couple of the most impactful players in the state from last year, but they’ve got talented guys that’ll step up into important roles for this spring. Eli Stephens was already a heart of the order hitter for them, while many of the arms in this group saw innings in big spots a year ago. Vick Gann has been clutch many times too, and they’ll get tested early with playing in Hoover again. 


24. Argyle (Argyle, Texas)
 2023 Record: 35-11-2
Head Coach: Ricky Griffin
Notable Prospect(s): LHP Park Prater (DBU), RHP Hudson Emeterio, SS Colton Roquemore (DBU), 3B Micah Roberts (UL Monroe), LHP Baron Mannis (TCU), SS Grady Emerson (TCU)

Argyle fell just a single run short of winning the 5A state title in Texas last year, losing to a Magnolia West team who had one of the best arms in the state. Now, they certainly look to be the favorite to win it with a lot of talented players from that team back. They’ve got excellent depth in their upperclass arms with Park Prater, Hudson Emeterio and Baron Mannis, while Division I caliber hitters should make up the heart of their order. They’ve got the top sophomore in the country with Grady Emerson, the #1 ranked 2026, which is factors in big when you think of the depth that being able to start a sophomore brings.


23. Tampa Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.)
 2023 Record: 27-5
Head Coach: Miguel Menendez
Notable Prospect(s): SS Noah Sheffield (FSU), LHP McCall Biemiller (Florida), RHP Aden Knowles (NC State), C Yvan Douglas, OF Jackson Thomas (Georgetown), OF Jack Clark (High Point), OF Dariel Pirela, OF Zane Pestalozzi (Campbell), SS William Burke (Florida Southern), SS Dean Spoto (Belmont), C Vincent Decarlo (NC State), RHP Christopher Hemmings, 1B Nicholas Deakin, RHP Reed Biemiller (FGCU), RHP Wilson Andersen, 3B Christian Sheffield, SS Kaden Waechter

It's really no surprise to see Tampa Jesuit this high in the rankings as they’re annually one of the best programs in the state, and often one of the better programs in the country. They fell just short of winning yet another state title last year, but a lot of the guys that contributed in a big way throughout that big run are back. They’ve got one of the state’s top hitters in Noah Sheffield, as well as a long list of other impactful and experienced senior bats, while their arms are deep with Power 5 guys like McCall Biemiller and Aden Knowles, as well as high-end underclass arms like Christopher Hemmings and star sophomore Wilson Andersen. 


22. Jackson Prep (Jackson, Miss.)
 2023 Record: 31-4
Head Coach: Brent Heavener
Notable Prospect(s): OF Konnor Griffin (LSU), OF Cole Gideon, LHP Gardner Young, 3B Tre Bryant, OF Kevin Roberts Jr

This is another program that we steadily see in the national rankings as they rattle off state titles regularly in their classification in Mississippi. They’ve got potentially the best player in the country in projected Top 10 pick Konnor Griffin headlining this group and he can carry a team to a state title himself with his impact on both sides of the ball. He’s got good support though with a couple nationally ranked position guys in Cole Gideon and Tre Bryant, while Kevin Roberts Jr is as dynamic of a sophomore as you’ll find and Gardner Young has great stuff.


21. Alfred M. Barbe (Lake Charles, La.)
 2023 Record: 39-1
Head Coach: Glenn Cecchini
Notable Prospect(s): RHP Landon Victorian (LSU), SS Owen Galt (Louisiana-Lafayette), C Presley Courville (Texas A&M), OF John David Alexander, RHP Myles Ledoux, OF Jordin Griffin (LSU)

Barbe is a household name when it comes to high school baseball and they once again find themselves in the group of the best teams in the country. They have lost some big names over the last couple of years to graduation, but if there’s any team that can continue to win games at a high level without a long list of superstars, it’s this one. Landon Victorian was an All-American and can beat just about any team on the mound, while fellow senior Owen Galt will be big for this group. They have more strong names offensively that give them a bit of depth, but it’ll be all about guys stepping up and carving out big roles on this team in ’24.

College Top 25: March 23

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

This week brings a new top team to the rankings as Johnson County (KS), on the strength of 10 consecutive wins and a 26-2 record, claims the overall number 1 spot. The Cavaliers have made 3 consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series and have the talent to make it back there again this spring. Florida Southwestern and Chipola have seemingly separated themselves as the most consistent teams in Florida. Welcome to the top 5 to the Gaston Rhinos who will be one of the first teams to 30 wins this spring. Pearl River stays as the top NJCAA D2 team and Fresno City stays as the top Juco team in California; both are coming off undefeated 2 week stretches. Welcome back to the top 25 to John A. Logan who is now 20-7 overall and have played one of the toughest schedules of anyone. And for the first time in several years welcome to the top 25 to the College of Southern Idaho, the Golden Eagles have...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

High School Top 50 Update: March 17

Tyler Russo
Article Image
We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...

College Players of the Week: March 17

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

Collegiate Player Report Database As each week of the college baseball season passes, we continue to be entertained at an incredible level with high level drama at every turn.  Conference play is under way and the national landscape is starting to make a bit more sense.  The development and strength of individual players is on full-display and there continue to be upsets on occasion that sends the message no team can relax for one moment.  For the most part, the Top 10 remains unchanged with some reshuffling as No. 1 UCLA (17-2) holds on to the top spot with yet another perfect (4-0) week after sweeping Michigan.  The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) did drop their first game of the season in Game 1 of SEC play but won the series against Ole Miss and finished the week with a (3-1) record.  The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (17-3) passed their first real road test of the...
