See Zack Poff and Chris Stonebraker break down the most recent rankings

The Parkview Panthers are the new top team in the National Baseball Composite Rankings by a nearly unanimous vote of five high school baseball rankings services.

Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.), 26-2 on the season, is ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, Baseball America and Perfect Game. USA Today has the Panthers ranked No. 9.

The only other team to receive a No. 1 vote is San Dimas (Calif.) by USA Today. However, San Dimas was not ranked by Baseball America or Perfect Game and thus comes in at No. 15 in the composite rankings.

Olympia (Orlando, Fla.), the previous No. 1 team, is now No. 2, while Park Vista (Lake Worth, Fla.), previously ranked No. 2, is the No. 3 team.

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 4.
