Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) is the highest-debuting team in the National Baseball Composite Rankings, jumping in at No. 13 with a 22-1 record.

Based on a vote of five high school baseball rankings services, the Ironmen are ranked No. 16 by Baseball America, No. 15 by MaxPreps, No. 14 by USA Today and No. 8 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Perfect Game did not have Don Bosco Prep ranked in its top 25.

Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.), 30-2 on the season, is still ranked No. 1 by four of the ranking services, with USA Today moving the Panthers up from No. 9 two weeks ago to No. 4.

Only the top 25 teams for each of the five ranking services were included in the composite rankings. MaxPreps, Perfect Game and USA Today rank 50 teams while Baseball America ranks 25 and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper ranks 30. Teams were assigned a score of 40 for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their top 25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.

Baseball America, USA Today and Collegiate Baseball News all release their rankings every two weeks while MaxPreps and Perfect Game release weekly national rankings. Records listed are current as of May 18.
