The Republic’s baseball rankings through April 15
Here are The Arizona Republic’s high school baseball rankings through April 15, 2024. The Super 10 is comprised of the top teams in the state, regardless of conference.
Super 10
1. Hamilton Huskies, 18-4
Everything is coming together for another championship season, but pitching, in the end, still will be the key for a team that has no problem putting up runs.
2. Casteel Colts, 15-6 With Mason Russell pitching a no-hitter in the National High School Baseball Invitational last week in North Carolina, this team is on fire, ready to make a big run at the 5A state playoffs.
3. Queen Creek Bulldogs, 17-7
This is a tough-minded team playing their best baseball right now. They can hit, pitch and defend.
4. Brophy Prep Broncos, 18-5
As good a pitching rotation you will find, which will make them a tough out in a double-elimination format in 6A.
5. Saguaro Sabercats, 21-3
With Cam Caminiti, Billy Gregory and Cade Shumard in the rotation, who is going to stop these guys in 4A?
6. Highland Hawks, 12-4
This team has been sneaky good and last week beat Queen Creek for a huge signature win to let the rest of 6A know they’re here to challenge anybody for a state title.
7. Sunrise Mountain Mustangs, 23-4-1
They’re on a big-time roll right now with a combination of pitching and power igniting them for a 5A state run.
8. Canyon View Jaguars, 21-5
Another great 5A team picking the right time to turn it on.
9. Canyon del Oro Dorados, 19-5
They’re the defending 4A champs and will be Saguaro’s biggest hurdle in the state playoffs.
10. Liberty Lions, 14-8
Coming off an 8-3 loss to Hamilton and split two games with Mountain Ridge, but coach Chris
Raymond will use this tough late-season schedule to help them in the 6A playoffs.
