2021 High School Baseball Team Rankings By Region (March 30 Update)

Baseball America’s High School team rankings are selected through a poll of representatives from the National High School Baseball Coaches Association (NHSBCA). The country is split into eight different regions, with region chairs nominating teams from their geographic areas for consideration for the rankings nationwide.

The NHSBCA has released its updated high school regional rankings throughout the country. Many areas throughout the country are still not underway, and teams without records indicate no change from our most recent update. 

However, play is underway in the Southeast, Southern and Pacific Coast Regions. Buford (Ga.) High still sits in the top spot in the Southeast Region and is riding a 19-game winning streak to start the season, while Barbe High in Lake Charles, La., rises from No. 7 to No. 1 in the Southern Region, with a 20-1 record. 

The Pacific Coast Region also featured movement after seasons got started on the West Coast, with Thousand Oaks (Calif.) High moving into the top spot with a 5-0 start to the season. 

See each regional high school ranking below. Records indicated are through Sunday, March 28.
