Top 25 national high school baseball composite rankings

The consensus in the most recent media baseball composite poll is that there is no consensus. With previously undefeated Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla.) losing in the Florida Class 4A state championship game, five different teams have a claim to a No. 1 national ranking.

Calvary Christian still holds on to two of those No. 1 rankings because the most recent rankings by Perfect Game and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper do not account for the playoff loss. For the rankings that came out this week, No. 1 teams include Argyle (Texas), Valley Christian (San Jose, Calif.), Riverdale Baptist (Upper Marlboro, Md.) and Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.).

Riverdale Baptist, which finished its season with a 27-game win streak, takes over the top spot with a slight edge over Valley Christian and Vianney (Kirkwood, Mo.), which are tied for second.



Riverdale Baptist, Valley Christian, Vianney and Calvary Christian join St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.) as the only teams ranked by all six services.

Teams are given points that correspond to their ranking in each poll. Teams that were not ranked in a certain poll were given 40 points. Teams were then ranked by the lowest average across the five polls.

MaxPreps, USA Today, and Baseball America all released polls this week while Perfect Game and Collegiate Baseball American released their most recent rankings May 22.

MaxPreps Xcellent 25 had the most teams in the composite rankings at 22, USA Today had 18, Baseball America had 15, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper had 17, MaxPreps computer rankings had 15 and Perfect Game had 20.
