The biggest statement of the week comes from Howell Central (MO), who knocked off the No. 4 and No. 5 teams in the region last week (Vianney and Francis Howell). The Spartans have now won eight straight and 10 of their last 11, jumping into the rankings at No. 4 this week.

Previous No. 2 Westview (OR) drops a couple of spots to No. 4 following a 1-2 week, with a tough loss to No. 5 Portland Jesuit (though the Wildcats still took the series 2-1). Roseburg (OR) becomes the top ranked team in the state of Oregon for now at No. 3 thanks to a 17-1 start to the season.

No. 14 Puyallup moves up four spots this week after going 3-0, they are a young team that wasn’t expected to contend until next season, but they are showing that they may be ready for a deep run this season with a 17-2 start to the season.

The new addition this week is: No. 25 Hanford (WA).

Pacific

Harvard-Westlake continues to hang onto the top spot by a narrow margin, in spite of a highly impressive victory by No. 2 Mater Dei over then No. 4 Orange Lutheran in a 1-0 battle. The two will meet again in a rematch tonight with first place in the Trinity League on the line.

Cathedral Catholic has now won nine straight and 15 of the past 16 to move up three spots coming in at No. 4. Fellow San Diego County power El Capitan moves up a couple of spots to No. 10 after a 3-0 week.

New additions this week include: No. 13 Agoura, No. 22 Chatsworth, No. 24 Long Beach Poly and No. 25 Sacramento Jesuit.

Southeast

Columbus (GA) and Parkview (GA) each suffered defeats during the week but remain the top two teams. They are joined in the top five by Pelham (AL), Gainesville (GA), and Farragut (TN).

Six new teams enter: No. 19 Brookwood (GA), No. 20 Mill Creek (GA), No. 21 Hoover (AL), No. 22 Zachary (LA), No. 23 Collierville (TN), and No. 25 El Dorado (AR).

Southwest

Bishop Gorman remains undefeated in the state of Nevada with one week remaining in the regular season, and they continue to hold onto the top spot as they have all season long. After that there was a shakeup this week throughout the region.

Arizona’s regular season has concluded with the state playoffs set to get underway this weekend, which will bring further movement. The top two ranked teams in the state Brophy Prep and Chaparral split a two-game set this week while winning their remaining games, that combined with a surprise loss by Bingham (UT) allowed each of the top three ranked Arizona teams to slide up a spot (Hamilton also moves up) this week to spots 3-5 respectively.

The case for the top team in the state of New Mexico became even less clear this week when the first and third ranked teams in the state (and top two in 5A) matched up for a two-game set, with La Cueva and Sandia splitting the series and each winning their other game last week. Meanwhile the top team in 4A, Piedra Vista, went 3-0 to improve to 28-4 on the season. Each of these three teams can make a viable case for the top spot, though at this point in time the edge appears to remain with two time defending 5A champion La Cueva, who comes in at No. 8 this week. Piedra Vista moves up to No. 9 and Sandia at No. 11.

New additions this week include: No. 23 Pinnacle (AZ), No. 24 O’Connor (AZ) and No. 25 Boulder Creek (AZ).

Texahoma

After knocking off previous No. 1 CC Carroll (TX) in a head to head matchup, Calallen (TX) trades places with the Tigers, moving up to the No. 1 spot with a 28-1 record this season.

The Woodlands (TX) has run their win streak up to 10 games now after shutting out No. 19 College Park (TX) 7-0 in their only game this week, allowing the 20-3 Highlanders to climb to No. 3 after yet another strong regular season. No. 5 Seven Lakes (TX) suffered their third defeat of the season, getting shut out by No. 10 Spring Branch Memorial (TX).

Owasso (OK) had an opportunity to reclaim the top ranking in the state of Oklahoma this week after No. 8 Broken Arrow (OK) lost, but the Rams went 2-1 on the week, allowing the Tigers to maintain the top spot for another week, with Owasso coming in at No. 9. The other two Oklahoma representatives are No. 16 Bishop Kelley and No. 17 Edmond Santa Fe, who is riding a nine game winning streak.

New additions this week include: No. 11 Arlington Martin (TX) and No. 24 Colleyville Heritage (TX).

In a season that has already had many exciting matchups across various events, we as a staff would like to highlight or “Shout-Out” notable performers along with an Uncommitted Spotlight and Team Spotlight.  Uncommitted Spotlight: Mason Rosenberg, 1B, 2027, Bishop Eustace Prep  Uncommitted Mason Rosenberg (2027, NJ) has been an absolute force within the Bishop Eustace lineup, as the left-handed hitting slugger is hitting .481 through eleven games including six homers.

Another week down and Johnson County continues their torrid run to remain at number 1. They're 46-2 on the season with multiple hitters over 25 bombs which is astonishing for the level as the Cavs have announced themselves as title favorites. Just a couple of weeks left heading down the stretch and our field remains mostly the same with the two additions of midwest powerhouse Iowa Western and the Warriors of East Central who will have a tough test Wednesday in Poplarville against fellow Mississippi adversary Pearl River in a mid-week double header.   Rk.

Coppy's Corner: April 23 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella
Article Image
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.     Player of the Week: Tague Davis – University of Louisville  Between 2016-2022, the University of Louisville produced 14 players taken in the Top 5 Rounds of the MLB Draft, seven of whom were taken in the 1st Round. The Cardinals haven’t produced a Top 5 Rounds pick since 2022, but that will change soon with Davis. Still only 20 years old and not draft-eligible until 2027, Davis continued his assault on college baseball this weekend with a 7-for-12 performance that included 5 HR. On the 2026 season, Davis is hitting .389 AVG / .489 OBP / .911 SLG / 1.392 OPS. That’s a 400+...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 22

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
The final weeks of the college baseball regular season have a way of separating programs that are genuinely postseason-ready from those that have simply been good enough for long enough. Conference tournaments loom, selection committees are paying close attention, and every game on the schedule carries weight that it simply didn't in February. This week's action, combined with the latest Perfect Game Top 25, paints a picture of a college baseball landscape where the top is clearly defined — and where the middle is a genuine battle. What follows is a cross-level look at teams across the NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III ranks who find themselves in that uncomfortable space: not safely in, not clearly out, but firmly on the bubble. Some have built compelling résumés that should hold up under scrutiny. Others have excellent records against soft competition...

Another few weeks have wrapped up this high school season as we’re flying through the spring and most southern states are starting playoffs right around the corner. With the end of the regular season, we have another National Top 50 update to bring to you, along with this will be the start of the weekly editions of our National Top 50. We have a change at the top of the rankings as Venice (FL) takes over the top spot after just dominating their competition in the state of Florida this year. Orange Lutheran (CA) drops one spot to No. 2 after dropping a series but still holds firm at No. 2 in the country. Barbe (LA) has continued to dominate and holds onto the No. 3 spot while Tomball (TX) skyrockets in this update to No. 4 in the country, currently holding an incredible 30-0-1 record. The rest of the top-10 is names we’ve become accustomed to see with Aledo (TX) at No. 5, IMG...

He finished the day with five hits in six at-bats which included four doubles and six runs batted in. His two doubles and four runs batted in played a big part in the Gold Playoffs Round 1 victory over the talented BPA squad out of California. He backed up that performance with three more hits in a quarterfinal’s loss to the East Cobb Astros 14U Orange to finish the tournament with a .600 batting average and 1.636 on-base plus slugging percentage.

College Players of the Week: April 21

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
April 21st Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Tague Davis, IF, Louisville  The Louisville Cardinals (22-18) haven’t been able to get themselves in much of a groove this spring, their longest winning streak is 5-games, and they are (4-6) in their last 10-games.  The issue has not been the offense as the Cardinals are averaging over 8-runs per game and Tague Davis is leading the club in virtually every offensive category.  His calling card is his 70-grade power and that was on display last weekend in their series against Cal.  In the three-game series, Davis went 7 for 12, scoring 4 runs, launching 5 home runs and collected 7 RBIs.  The 6-4/220 lefthanded hitter from West Chester, PA has a pure stroke, is one of the premier power hitters in the nation and has significantly improved his plate discipline from a year ago.  After his big weekend, he is...
