Final HS Top 50 Rankings

Tyler Russo
Cam McElwaney
We’ve reached the end of yet another high school season, which saw dramatic finishes and big storylines in a number of states, and it means that we’re now at the point of releasing this final Top 50, along with regional team rankings, national players of the year, state players of the year, and a first in three teams of ‘High School All-Americans’, awarded based on a number of things.

Starting a look at the Final HS Top 50, it does look a little different than the preseason rankings, which is normal given no preseason rankings are perfect, but there are a lot of familiar faces up near the top as SIX teams that started the year in the Top 10 will finish in the Top 10 (a pretty impressive feat). There are plenty of teams that either underperformed or overperformed, as we don’t see some names that have been staples in the rankings, but it made room for those across the country that put together one of their best years in program history throughout ’23.



Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) finished the year 29-0, just dominating their way to yet another state title in Florida’s 7A, which led them to finishing the year at the top spot and as a result, crowns them the National Champions for 2023. Just behind them, in the 2-5 range, were teams that would have a strong case in just about any other year. Barbe (La.) won their state title on a true storybook finish to close the year out 39-1. IMG Academy (Fla.) went 25-0 in a gauntlet of a schedule, but they are unable to complete in the postseason which left them vulnerable to losing out on the top spot. Bishop Gorman (Nev.) only lost a pair of games on the year and had one of their best rosters in program history when you look at the output from top to bottom. Archbishop Moeller (Oh.) had a rocky time in a few games in the middle of the spring, but only lost those few games and went on to win the state’s top state title with a really strong group.

The rest of the High School Top 50 is littered with both state champs and those that had very good springs as a whole, but fell short ahead of their goal, and so many of those are deserving of in-depth recognition. It’s been another outstanding year for high school baseball and we appreciate all that follow along; please be sure to tune into social channels over the course of this week as we highlight some of the countries’ top teams and players from the spring season.

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...

2027 Draft: Way Too Early 1:1 Predictions

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
2027 Top 100 Draft Board  Current Favorite: SS Dylan Seward, Norco HS (Calif.) In our first iteration of the 2027 Draft Board, Norco shortstop Dylan Seward ranks No. 1 overall. The switch-hitter is an ultra-twitchy player with a lot to like on both sides of the ball. He is a supreme athlete that should stick up the middle. Explosiveness is shown in all aspects of his game and gives the profiles big time upside.  In the event that Seward does not go 1:1, each member of our draft team selected a player that they think could wind up in that spot. We are still nearly a full year away from draft day, but here are our “Way Too Early” predictions for the 1st overall pick next July.  Henni’s Pick: C/UTL Gavin Kelly, West Virginia    Gavin Kelly (@WVUBaseball) sends this over the wall in CF for a solo 💣 (100 EV/ 416 ft). Adv. hitter with accurate...

Fifty-Four teams, competing across three divisions in the 14u - 18u age classifications opened up our Fall schedule playing in a five game showcase style format.

Below are write-ups of some of our top performers over the weekend in the 14 & 16u age divisions. 14U DIVISION Josie Moen (2031 Urbandale, IA) is an athletic OF for TN Mojo 2030 Evans.

Ashley Mears

Perfect Game Iowa City Scouting Showcase August 29-30 Ashley Mears It was a great weekend to kick off the Fall 2026 tournament campaign in Iowa City. The fields were packed with college coaches from across the Midwest, providing a great opportunity for players to showcase their talents. Both hitters and pitchers put on quite a show, and there were plenty of standout performances to take note of. We are excited to continue following these players and see what the rest of the fall has in store! Gillian Hansen (2028 New Brighton, MN) of the 18u MN Force Impact Standering was an absolute force to be reckoned with at the plate this weekend. Hansen possesses a strong, athletic build that translates into impressive power. Standing parallel to the plate, she utilizes her lower half effectively and does an excellent job of staying through the ball and extending through the zone. Hansen led the...

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...
