Top 25 national high school baseball composite rankings

The first media baseball composite rankings have two teams tied for No. 1 including the defending composite rankings champion from 2018.


Argyle is not ranked No. 1 by any of the six media polls, but is not ranked lower than fourth in five of the polls. Orange Lutheran is ranked No. 1 by the MaxPreps Computer rankings and Perfect Game.

Other teams ranked No. 1 include Colleyville Heritage (Texas) by MaxPreps Xcellent 25, Lake Travis (Austin, Texas) by the Baseball Coaches Association and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) by USA Today.

IMG Academy, which is a member of a state association and does not play a postseason in order to play a national schedule, was not ranked at all by the Baseball Coaches Association and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.

Most of the ranking services in the composite rankings released their final rankings this week, except for Baseball Coaches Association, which released on April 1.

Argyle, Orange Lutheran, Cypress (Calif.), Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), Barbe (Lake Charles, La.), and DeSoto Central (Southaven, Miss.) were the only teams ranked by all six services. A total of 61 teams were ranked by at least one service.

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.

Perfect Game had the most teams in the composite rankings at 21. MaxPreps Xcellent 25 and USA Today had 20, Baseball Coaches Association had 16, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper had 17, MaxPreps computer rankings had 12.
