Updated Report
Here is our updated rankings from Fallon Sports - This list is to recognize teams that are playing well - it is based on team records, runs scored, runs against, scouting from our staff, who teams have beaten as well as who teams have lost to. It does not weigh heavily on power points but once the AIA releases their rankings we will factor those in as another filter. Baseball is a great game and any team can beat any team on any given day - this list is not developed to try to choose the strongest team on paper, rather it is used to recognize the teams who are playing well, scoring runs, limiting their opposition from scoring runs and most importantly winning more baseball games than they are losing. Although factored in, there is not a lot of weight placed on strength of schedule - instead an emphasis is placed on beating the teams that are on your schedule.
Last Updated Monday March 30 - there are 245 Arizona high schools that are being considered.
