HS Rankings Update: March 27

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.).

The southern states are rolling through the playoffs as the weeks unfold along with northern states starting to get to the back half of their schedule as the summer is quickly approaching.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 29

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Across all three divisions of college baseball, the teams making the most noise heading into the postseason share a common trait — they score runs, and they score them relentlessly. Along with the updated rankings, this week we take a look at the top run-producing programs in DII, DIII and NAIA baseball, spotlighting a trio of teams from each division whose offenses have separated themselves from the field. The numbers tell a compelling story. Whether it's the defending NAIA champion LSU Shreveport Pilots reloading with a new roster yet still posting 10+ runs per game, the Pittsburg State Gorillas hanging blowout after blowout on opponents, or the Lynchburg Hornets making a case as the most complete team in Division III baseball, the formula is largely the same — deep lineups, disciplined at-bats, and the ability to keep pressure on a pitching staff from the first pitch to...

College Players of the Week: April 28

April 28th Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Jarren Advincula, IF, Georgia Tech  It is well documented how good the Georgia Tech offense was in 2025, so when the Yellow Jackets added Jarren Advincula from the transfer portal in the off-season, the expectations went through the roof for ’26.  Somehow, the team and Advincula have not only met but exceeded those expectations in virtually every way.  Advincula, the 6-2/195 infielder from Santa Clara, CA, has been a fixture in the middle infield and is an elite defender with the leather.  He shows natural instincts for the game and as the season has progressed, he has found himself inserted into the 3-hole in their powerful lineup.  Hitting from the left-side of the plate, Advincula put together an impressive week as Tech took down Georgia in the mid-week and swept Wake Forest on the weekend.  He was...

It was another weekend of upsets, upheaval and consequential series victories across the nation.  After the dust settled, the UCLA Bruins (39-4) remain the No. 1 team in the nation after their (3-1) week stepping outside Big Ten play, taking a series against Sacramento State.  Their perfect (21-0) start in conference play is still intact with three weekend series to go.  UNC (36-8) sticks at No. 2 this week after they went across town to take on archrival Duke, winning that series and finishing the week with a (3-1) record.  The No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (36-7) showed their moxie by coming back from large deficits multiple times and swept conference foe Wake Forest, extending their lead in the ACC standings to 2-games.  The Texas Longhorns (32-9) are No. 4 in the poll this week after winning a tightly contested series on the road against Vanderbilt. ...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: Top 100

Vincent Cervino

PG Draft: Top-100 Reports (April Update) 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the only tool that doesn’t jump...
