Final 2021 National High School Top 50

Photo: Stoneman Douglas Baseball (Perfect Game)
The 2021 season was an exciting one as almost every state made their way back toward reality throughout the playing of the high school baseball season. While some states didn’t quite get to finish out their usual state playoffs, many did, and we are able to once again crown a national champion. This year’s national champion, Stoneman Douglas High School out of Parkland, Fla., played six teams, among their very talented Southern-Florida based schedule, that were a part of the national rankings at some point and finished their season 28-2 on their way to Florida’s 7A state title, the largest and potentially most difficult classification in the state.

The rest of the top-5 were all very deserving of this honor as they all were able to finish very impressive seasons in their respective states. Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.) finishes the year at No. 2 after a 43-1 season in which they took home Michigan’s Division 2 state title and ended the year on a 22-game winning streak. Barbe (La.) closes the year at No. 3 after one of the more storied seasons in the state of Louisiana, finishing 39-2 and capturing the state’s 5A title. Madison Central (Miss.) closes out the year at No. 4 with a 34-2 record and an impressive run to take home the 6A state title in Mississippi, while Thousand Oaks (Calif.) finishes at No. 5 after only losing a single game (29-1) on their way to the Southern Section Division 2 title in California.



This final edition of the High School rankings holds 27 state, or regional, champions and those teams are as follows: *Stoneman Douglas (Fla.), *Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.), *Barbe (La.), *Madison Central (Miss.), *Thousand Oaks (Calif.), *Rockwall-Heath (Texas), Harvard Westlake (Calif.), *Baylor (Tenn.), Trinity (Ky.), *JSerra Catholic (Calif.), *Jackson Prep (Miss.), *Parkview (Ga.), Auburn (Ala.), *Heritage Hall (Okla.), American Fork (Utah), *Houston County (Ga.), *Buchanan (Calif.), The First Academy (Fla.), St. Joes Montvale (N.J.), Liberty (Ariz.), Barbers Hill (Texas), Blue Valley (Kan.), Roff (Okla.), Blue Valley Southwest (Kan.), Jasper (Ind.), Liberty (Mo.), New Albany (Ohio)

* = Member of the Preseason High School Top 50

The following schools were members of the Preseason High School Top 50 and managed to make both the preseason list and this final edition of the rankings: Stoneman Douglas (Fla.), Orchard Lake St. Mary’s (Mich.), Barbe (La.), Madison Central (Miss.), Thousand Oaks (Calif.), IMG Academy (Fla.), Rockwall-Heath (Texas), Buford (Ga.), Baylor (Tenn.), JSerra Catholic (Calif.), Orange Lutheran (Calif.), Jackson Prep (Miss.), Parkview (Ga.), Lake Travis (Texas), Tampa Jesuit (Fla.), Bishop Gorman (Nev.), Heritage Hall (Okla.), Houston County (Ga.), Buchanan (Calif.), Reagan (Texas), Phillips Academy (Mass.), Malvern Prep (Penn.), Hamilton (Ariz.), Lakeland Christian (Fla.), Calvary Christian Academy (Fla.), Doral Academy (Fla.), Spruce Creek (Fla.), and The Bolles (Fla.).

While this will be the final edition of the High School Top 50 for this calendar year, we will be releasing our High School State Players of the Year tomorrow where we will name a player of the year for each state as well as a National Player of the Year, National Pitcher of the Year and National Two-Way Player of the Year. Thank you for following along with us all season long and we are already looking forward to the 2022 high school season.

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class. Two Region...

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
