MaxPreps has Granada #2 in California and #24 Nationally.

Granada just lost 5-2 yesterday to a .500 Nor Cal team…. 🤣

They got a lot of Hype for Beating DLS 5-4 but DLS was missing their Starting SS who is committed to Stanford, (Backup SS made 3 Errors)…. And missing their starting CF who has offers from LSU, Clemson and others who was injured in the Basketball state semi finals as he is also a top Basketball player….

It’s just impossible to accurately rank Baseball teams…. A total waste of time….

SoCal flexing their muscles on the rest of the country. Number 1 in baseball no doubt 

I am sure it’s close…. Drop any team in to SSD1 and the schedules those teams play and they won’t make it out without multiple losses…. All the top teams have at least 3 losses already and they haven’t even finished league play or playoffs…..

OLU 8-0 over SJC…. So Cal teams are undefeated so far….

The Perfect Game Showdown in Hoover had better teams and competition. 

If the California teams wouldn't have been in this tournament it would have been a joke.

Totally agree!…. This is a Hype tournament…. All the best southern teams and TX teams played earlier this year….

That’s hard for the Cali teams because they do so much in state during that period, they best schools all play each other in state during fall/ winter stuff and the beginning of the season…. 

Why do you need to travel out of state for tournaments when you have like 10 or so of the best teams in the country in the same state all playing each other?…..

Found it.  USA Baseball TV (pixellot.tv)

All you have to do is create a free account and start watching.  Pretty cool.  I caught the Corona 2/Trinity Christian 0 game.  A 2-run shot in the 5th being the only damage.  

Very good!

I didn't know about it.

I saw they were pushing the NFHS streams and figured that was that.

In the new Perfect Game Top 50 that just dropped 2 days ago Granada, CA is #46..... maybe that's a little closer to reality.... and they were a new team added. They might not make the next Perfect Game Poll. The Perfect game polL comes out about every 2 weeks.

Catholic (Baton Rouge) holding steady at #1 at Perfect Game. Catholic is currently 31-2 and cruising. They won't get tested again until the D1 Select Playoffs.

0-7 Valley Christian in Dublin is ranked #24th 😂. I’d personally go with Valley Christian in San Jose (16-2).
 

If these polls don’t know what teams they are talking about, really hard to take them seriously.

I think anyone that has followed the polls knows which Valley Christian they are talking about.

It's not like football and basketball polls don't have their share of bloopers. Especially football.

A California team has won the USA Baseball Invitational 8 of the 10 years they've held the tournament and will win it this year also > with 4 California teams in the semifinals.

They. should change the name of this tournament to the California Baseball Invitational. 😄

California definitely loads up for this tournament every year sending the Green Beret of baseball teams.

How in the hell is Farragut still ranked #7!? I understand they’ve played a tough schedule, but you still have to win some of those games. They are, more realistically, around #47.

HA!…. Totally!…. And anyone who actually watches HSBB in Nor Cal would not leave DLS out of their poll…

they have 6 D1 level starters in their lineup, 2 of which were injured…. Junior Alec Blair who holds offers from LSU, Clemson, and at least 10 other schools has only been back for 4 games…. He has 9 hits in those last 4 games….

DLS has won their last 3 games by a combined score of 69-4 against good teams including beating Granite Bay 17-1 who won the Nor Cal Boras tournament….

Can’t take any of these polls seriously especially when you don’t include DLS who has as talented a lineup and the pitching to beat any team in the Country….

Except for PG Apparently who actually put out the poll…. 🤣

No one who actually watches and follows HSBB would confuse those 2 schools…..

DLS doesn't even have enough talent to beat 6-10 Dougherty Valley, CA.

Let me guess DLS (now 10-3) had 5 starters out for that game, right.

I got to watch you, dude. 😭

DLS started their #6 pitcher in that game who gave up 5 runs and they lost 6-5 in DV’s final at bat….

Had they had their Sophomore Stanford Commit transfer eligible to pitch he would have but he had to sit out 10 games…. 

All the ranked teams have unfortunate losses… Anyone who watches DLS play knows they are one of the best teams in the state….
