HS Rankings Update: May 25

Photo: David Horn, JSerra Catholic (Perfect Game)
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.

Article Image
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...

College Players of the Week: April 21

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...

College Top 25: April 20

Vincent Cervino

As the old saying goes, “all good things must come to an end” and that was the case last Tuesday when UCLA (36-3) saw their 27-game win streak come to an end in a shutout loss to UCSB.  However, the No. 1 team in the land still has their 21-game winning streak in Big Ten to protect, as they have started off league play without a single blemish.  The Bruins will remain atop our poll this week and their historical start to the season roll on.  The UNC Tarheels (33-7-1) move up to No. 2 this week after they made their biggest statement of the year by taking the weekend series from now No. 4 Georgia Tech (32-7).  No. 3 Texas (30-8) and No. 5 Georgia (32-9) both went (3-1) on the week and won their SEC series to stay in contention for the regular season title.  Florida State (28-11) had a nice bounce back (4-0) week and re-enter the Top 10 at No. 8 this...

Coppy's Corner: April 16 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.   Player of the Week: Jaquae Stewart – Texas State University  If you squint a little bit, you can see some Josh Naylor or Dominic Smith in Jaquae Stewart, with a stout build like a more powerful version of the teacup from the children’s song. Lately, the Sun Belt Conference has been child’s play for Stewart as he has been on fire showing an improved hit approach and power that tracks more with his 2024 performance at Northwest Florida State College than with his 2025 experience at the University of Texas. It’s tough for any player to jump from a JUCO in Florida to the big stage...

Alain Gomez-Gudiño (‘26 AZ) with a pair of backside barrels, including a double. Physical 6-0/215 frame. Switch-hitter with power. Adv. defender with strong C&T behind the dish. @PGAllAmerican alum. #Gamecocks commit #PGHS @PG_Draft @SaguaroBaseball pic.twitter.com/2Vhuu5gYX9 — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) April 11, 2026 C Alain Gomez-Gudino, Saguaro (Ariz.) Since I first saw him as a sophomore, Gomez-Gudiño has long been one of my favorite prospects in the state. The backstop features a super physical frame at 6-foot-0, 215-pounds with a thick lower half and strong forearms. Defensively, Gomez-Gudiño has always stood out. He moves well for his size behind the plate and receives with confident hands. The catch-and-throw ability stands out. Gomez-Gudiño looks to be aggressive and will back pick runners often. The glove alone makes...

Another week of undefeated weeks for our top 4 ranked teams. Joining them in the top 5, coming off an undefeated week of their own, is Florence-Darlington, a team we have consistently had as a top 10 team all season long. Cloud County and Midland College continue to put together strong weeks and climb the rankings each week it seems. Jumping into the rankings this week on the strength of a 15-game winning streak is Seminole State (OK). And Linn Benton makes the top 25 for a 2nd consecutive week and looks like the top team in the NWAC this spring. Plenty of high-level matchups at the JUCO level for some of the top teams in the county this next week.  Rk. School Record 1 Johnson County (KS) 42-2 2 Gaston (NC) 43-3 3 McLennan (TX) 34-7 4 Chipola (FL) 37-7 5 Florence-Darlington (SC) 40-8 6 Walters State (TN) 37-10 7 Blinn (TX) 31-11 8 Florida Southwestern (FL) 30-12 9 Southern Nevada...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 15

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to this week's small school baseball rankings, covering NCAA Division II, the NAIA, and NCAA Division III. As the calendar turns toward the final weeks of the regular season, the urgency is real across all three levels — teams are running out of weekends to build their cases, and the extended postseason invitations that every program is chasing don't go to programs that peak in March. The next few weeks of results will carry more weight than anything that happened before spring break, and the postseason committees in all three divisions are watching closely. Every series dropped to a team you should beat, every road sweep you let get away — it all matters now in a way it simply didn't two months ago. What you'll also notice as you read through the breakdowns below is that the numbers are doing more of the heavy lifting in how these rankings are constructed. Run...
