MaxPreps national high school baseball composite rankings

See Parkview High's Brandon Hill in action for the nation's No. 1 team

Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.) received a No. 1 ranking from all five high school baseball rankings services to become the first team during the 2015 season to receive a consensus No. 1 ranking.

USA Today was the only service in the past month to rank a team other than Parkview No. 1, as it had San Dimas (Calif.) as the top team. However, San Dimas lost its first game of the season on Tuesday and saw its season come to an end. USA Today thus moved Parkview to the No. 1 spot. The other four rankings services came out earlier in the week prior to San Dimas' loss and thus did not count for the defeat in their rankings.

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.
