MaxPreps Baseball Dynasty Rankings

With four state championships in the past five seasons, it shouldn't be any surprise that Bishop Gorman is the top baseball dynasty in the country over the past half decade.

Using the MaxPreps Baseball Computer Rankings for the past five seasons (not including the 2014 season), Gorman came out on top with a rating of 82.5. The overall rating was compiled by adding up each of the five ratings from the five preceding seasons.

Although the Gaels lost in the state championship game last year, they had won state titles in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Bishop Gorman also won state titles in 2008 and 2007, but complete national baseball rankings were not available for those seasons.

Bishop Gorman has never finished No. 1 in the computer rankings, but they have finished in the top 13 four times, including a high of No. 3 in 2011. The Gaels have never finished lower than 35th.

Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) is right behind Bishop Gorman with a rating of 82.2. The Monarchs have never finished lower than 26th over the past five seasons and they finished third in 2010 when they won the Southern Section Division I championship.

Desert Ridge (Mesa, Ariz.) comes in at No. 3 thanks to a pair of state championships in 2009 and 2010. It finished No. 1 overall in 2010 and was No. 5 in 2009.

Rancho Bernardo (San Diego) is No. 4 with three San Diego Section championships (California does not hold state championship playoffs in baseball). Its highest finish came in 2010 when it finished eighth.

Owasso (Okla.) rounds out the top five. The Rams have a pair of state championships and have finished as high as No. 11 twice.
