MaxPreps Final 2014 Regional High School Baseball Computer Rankings

With only a few states still in action, there was relatively little movement in the five regional rankings, although two new teams joined the Midwest rankings and there was a new No. 1 in the South.

Wisconsin and Minnesota completed their spring seasons last week and the large school champions there joined the rankings for the first time. Sun Prairie (Wisc.) debuted at No. 2 in the Midwest region while Mounds View (Arden Hills, Minn.) entered at No. 5.

In the South region, updated results for Sumter (S.C.) and Olympia (Orlando, Fla.), two teams that finished their season last month but had incomplete results listed, opened the way for South Dade (Miami) to take over the No. 1 spot. Sumter dropped from No. 1 to No. 3 while Olympia moved up from No. 6 to No. 2.

The regional rankings are based on the MaxPreps Computer Rankings.
