HS Rankings Update: March 27

It’s been 2 full weeks of play since the latest update, but there’s not a ton of change in terms of the totality of the rankings. The top 4 teams stay the same as Florida’s best have been extremely good so far this spring, while California’s best has started to emerge. Notre Dame (Calif.) surges all the way up to 5 as they’re coming off sweeps of Harvard-Westlake and Sierra Canyon, two strong programs. Santa Margarita Catholic (Calif.) is up to 7 as they continue to rattle off wins against the Trinity League, taking the series from JSerra after their sweep of Orange Lutheran. Barbe (La.) and Bishop Gorman (Nev.) continue to be strong, OLSM (Mich.) won their first game of the year and Houston County (Ga.) narrowly holds on to the 10 spot.

Looking at big risers outside the Top 10, Westlake (Texas) is the top 6A team in Texas at 20-1 and has surged up the rankings accordingly, to 17, Basic (Nev.) and Cherokee Bluff (Ga.) stay undefeated and climb to 19 and 21 respectively, Jesuit (Ore.) climbs a bunch of spots after they’ve looked good early this spring, Cypress Woods (Texas) continues to win a ton of games and Farragut (Tenn.) has started out well.



4 new teams join the rankings this week; Thompson (Ala.) is 22-2 and looks like one of the top teams in Alabama after beating a ton of big names, Montverde Academy (Fla.) almost won the Showdown and their only loss comes from there at 12-1, Sam Houston (La.) is 20-1 and gave Barbe their only loss of the year so far and Rockwall (Texas) has played well in Texas’ 6A too.

There will be a ton of nationally-ranked matchups that come this week as NHSI kicks off in Cary, which includes 11 teams we currently have ranked in the Top 50, including Doral Academy (Fla.), St. Xavier (Ky.), Aquinas (Calif.), Santa Margarita (Calif.), Huntington Beach (Calif.), Blessed Trinity (Ga.), Bishop Gorman (Nev.), Houston County (Ga.), JSerra Catholic (Calif.), Calvary Christian (Fla.) and Jesuit (Ore.).

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

PG Draft: Potential Risers Into Top 50

Michael Albee
Article Image
We are in the early stages of the 2027 cycle and there is still plenty of time for players to make significant jumps up the board. While our current Top-100 provides an early look at the class, several players just outside that group have the upside to make a run at becoming Top-50 pick by next July. With that in mind, each member of the draft team each selected one college player and one prep player they believe could make the jump into the Top-50 over the course of the spring. These are the names to keep an eye on as the 2027 draft picture continues to develop. Joey’s Picks:   Jake Cueto (27 FL) goes oppo 💣 on a mid-90s LonL heater. Performing at a very high level, hitting .464 with 5 homers. Excellent hit/run combo and here comes the juice! #PGHS #Miami commit @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/g4gtml81mm — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) April 1, 2026 Prep: OF, Jake...

PG Wood Bat Fall Kickoff Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Evan Thompson (‘29, AZ) showcasing the all-fields power with this ground rule double the other way. Immense power upside. Really fun offensive profile #FallKickoff https://t.co/l551KirUOf pic.twitter.com/QW0AIeg59g — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) September 7, 2026 Evan Thompson (2029, Gilbert, Ariz.) put on an offensive clinic throughout the weekend, going 8-for-13 with three extra-base hits. He capped off his MVP performance with a walkoff home run to take home the championship. Thompson is one of the premier players in the 2029 class. A fluid left-handed stroke consistently finds barrels. There is all fields power present that will only continue to develop further. It would not be a surprise if Thimpson ends up the top ranked player in the class when it is all said and done.  Chase Fillman (2028, Goodyear, Ariz.) put together a loud summer circuit and...

What Profiles Are Valued Most at Top of Draft

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
The landscape of the MLB Draft continues to evolve each and every year. What teams value at the top of the draft can change based on the strength of a particular class, shifts in player development philosophy, and, perhaps most importantly, the way organizations evaluate risk and upside. Some trends are subtle, while others become impossible to ignore when viewed across multiple years. For this study, I set out to answer one question: What player profiles do teams value at the top of the draft? To answer it, I analyzed the Top-100 picks from each of the last six drafts (2021-2026). That gives us 600 total selections to examine and provides a large enough sample to identify both the profiles that have remained consistently popular and those that have gained or lost significant ground. The data was broken down by position, handedness and level to create individual player profiles. While...
