The only thing to do if the plate is being blocked is take to flight.

Oklahoma has nearly 500 high schools, yet only 44 of them have over 1,000 students enrolled. So it shouldn't comes as too much of a surprise that the National Small Schools Baseball Rankings has a strong contingent of teams from that state.

Nine teams from Oklahoma make the the Top 25 small schools list, led by No. 1 Oktaha from Class 2A which is coming off a 28-5 season in 2017. Oktaha also has wins over Silo and Vian, which rank No. 5 and 6 in the small school rankings. A fourth Oklahoma school, Dale, ranks No. 7.

Georgia also has its fair share of schools in the rankings led by Tattnall Square Academy (Macon, Ga.) at No. 4. Georgia has four schools on the list.

Loretto (Tenn.), led by one of the nation's top pitching prospects in Ryan Weathers, comes in at No. 2 while Winters (Calif.), one of the more successful small school programs in Northern California for the past 20 years, comes in at No. 3.



The teams are determined by the MaxPreps computer rankings. Small schools are considered to be those schools that play in state enrollment divisions that feature schools which generally have less than 1,000 students. Teams are listed with their season record as of Monday and their MaxPreps computer rating.
