HS Rankings Update: March 27

Tyler Russo

Cam McElwaney

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.).

HS Showdown Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo

High School Showdown Event Page | High School Showdown Preview ‘27 1B Frank Thomas (FL) goes liftoff once again for 2nd HR, again in the L on L. Leveraging w/ such easy juice. #PGShowdown @IMGABaseball @Florida_PG https://t.co/BgWiDyMiMo pic.twitter.com/IC6sdAkhmT — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 26, 2026 Frank Thomas III (2027, Sarasota, Fl.) was all over a breaking ball in the first inning of an IMG Academy offensive explosion, making it back-to-back-to-back homers to start the game. He did not turn back from there, homering on two more occasions. The ball explodes off the barrel with low effort strength and he showed the ability to manipulate the barrel to lift with authority. Thomas III is built strong and physical and he is just beginning to tap into that huge power upside. He showed no issues handling left on left matchups, with his first two homers coming...

PG Draft: Early Season Underclass Performers

Tyler Henninger

Dax Whitney (@BeaverBaseball) showed LOUD stuff. FB up to 100, cruised at 95-98. Pair of plus secondaries. CB at 77-79 (2923) with sharp, 12-6 action. Firm SL at 89-91 (2714) with bite. Flashed fading CH at 87-88 (1425). Ranked No. 1 on the ‘27 board @PG_Draft So./‘27 elig. pic.twitter.com/9PNbjJ53Zo — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall) February 13, 2026 RHP Dax Whitney, Oregon State (‘27 elig.) Whitney may not just be the best arm in next year’s class, he may be the best arm in the entire country right now. The right-handed sits 98 mph with the heater and has been up to 100 mph. Both the slider and curveball are plus offerings that he spins extremely well. Whitney will mix in a quality Gavin changeup that sits in the upper-80’s and has also introduced a new cutter. All the pitches come from the exact same release point and jump out of the hand. He...

PGHS Showdown: Academies Scout Notes

AJ Denny

Jordan Burwell (‘26 NJ) going WAY out to right. Rhythmic approach and smooth swing get into big time power. #Mountaineers commit. @PGMidAtlantic #PGShowdown pic.twitter.com/qyDaIPxIol — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 22, 2026 Jordan Burwell (‘26 NJ) First live look at the left-handed hitting West Virgina commit. The power is real, launched two long homers in game action this weekend. Easy mover with very clean path with sky high offensive ceiling if he continues to show like this. Swing is built for power and lofted pull side impacts. CJ Alfano (‘26 NY) long PS bomb this morning. Just leaning on everything that’s thrown over the heart. #WVU commit. @PGMidAtlantic #PGShowdown pic.twitter.com/4lGnhOEyrl — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) February 22, 2026 Cj Alfano (‘26 NY)Just an impossible out throughout the weekend....

SoCal High School Notebook: Feb. 27

Steve Fiorindo

5 K's over 4 hitless innings of work for Jared Grindlinger (2026), making first start as member of the 2026 class. 92-94 t95 w/ the FB, SL 80-83, CH 81-83, CB 77/78. Efficient outing, 50 pitches, 39 strikes. #PGHS @PG_scouting @PG_Draft @HBHS_basebll @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/y7jwX1oPyB — Perfect Game California (@California_PG) February 25, 2026 Jared Grindlinger, LHP, Huntington Beach High School (2026) Gringlinger’s first start as a member of the 2026 class was a good one… 4 innings of no hit ball with 5 strikeouts. Ran the fastball to 95, lived 92-94, throwing a ton of strikes. 50 pitches on the day, 39 strikes, pretty much landing all four pitches in the zone. Went to the slider early and often, quadrupling up on the slide piece to the first hitter of the game. The slider shows late lateral action with some vert, living 80-83. Used...

Dave Durbala

SPRINGFIELD, IL - Perfect Game Softball 16u Winter Elite Showcase, February 20-22, 2026. Twenty-Four teams arrived in Springfield for the opportunity to showcase some of the best talent in the midwest. After 3 pool play games, the field was split and seeded into either the Platinum or Gold Division to begin bracket play. With several highly sought after young arms on display, it was Indiana Magic Gold 16U Carroll and Indiana Magic Gold 14U National making it into the Platinum Division Championship, and through a mutual agreement, they decided to end the tournament as Co-Champions. In the Gold Division, it was Gts 16u Elite-Gonzalez with a 7-2 win over Cedar Rapids Blue Devils 14u, to earn the championship.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: Feb. 25

Nick Herfordt

A few weeks into the season and the shape of the national picture is starting to emerge (slightly, let’s get too silly about early results). Some preseason favorites are humming exactly as advertised, a few dark horses are pawing at the gate, and a handful of early contenders are discovering that February optimism and March reality are not always the same thing. Across DII, DIII and the NAIA, pitching staffs are setting the tone, offenses are either detonating or recalibrating, and the Top 25 is already beginning to feel less theoretical and more earned. DII UT Tyler is performing as predicted with a 12-2 start that includes a series win at Angelo State. The Patriots’ offense has not exactly been knocking the cover off the ball, but the pitching staff has been stingy, holding opponents to a .228 batting average. They have not faced a ranked opponent yet, but...

JUCO Top 25: February 25

Blaine Peterson

Another strong week for many of the top teams in junior college baseball. Walters State put together another undefeated weak and sticks in the top spot for the 3rd consecutive ranking. Chipola on the strength of a 20-1 start has established themselves early as one of top teams in the country. Johnson County put together a 2nd consecutive undefeated week and moves into the top 5 with a 15-1 overall record. They will play 4 games against #22 Iowa Western this week who is also coming off an undefeated week. Fresno City (15-0) and Midland (13-0) are two undefeated programs to begin 2026. They have gone from not in the preseason top 25 to the top 15 in our rankings in less than a month. And welcome to the PG Juco Top 25 Cloud County (KS) who debuts at #23 and is coming off a huge 3 game sweep on the road in Texas of a previous top 10 program in our rankings. Plenty of good matchups ahead this...

Cam McElwaney

We’re only about 24 hours away from the 14th PG High School Showdown and as we get closer to one of the premier events on the high school schedule, we look ahead to what we’ll see in Hoover.

JUCO Notebook: February 27

Troy Sutherland

An extended look at Carson Bailey (@mccbaseball1 )…. https://t.co/TltEl9M31H pic.twitter.com/24Lv8q73Yb — Perfect Game Texas (@Texas_PG) February 7, 2026 Carson Bailey (2024, Richardson, Texas) worked up to 97 with his fastball out the gate and lived 95-96 throughout his short burst outing. Fastball got up to 2500 RPM showing subtle tail at times. It plays firm and gets in on hitters quick. Locates fastball well at times. He went to a change in the 85-88 range as his bread and butter secondary killing spin with good dive. Change produced 5 whiffs. He also mixed in a slider in the 80-85 getting upwards of 2500 RPM with it. Slider tight and sharp when around it. Also flashed a curve at 79. Bailey stands in at 6-foot-3 from a deceptive delivery that creates tough angles for hitters. He should be a big follow throughout the Spring with plenty of draft buzz surrounding him. He is...
