For 8-15u Click Here

Arizona-best known for the Grand Canyon....Also, has some quality baseball teams! This is meant to be a non-bias page to include all team rankings in the state of Arizona from 8-15u for 2019 and will be updated throughout the season.   We also have a Get Recruited Page, Blog, and check out our recommendations for gear and equipment-to support the website. Please sign up for our newsletter below for information and updates on the rankings.

These rankings are taken from tournaments, head-to-head, overall record, game changer results, etc. The page will be updated with new rankings when the season starts in April. For this website, the season starts in April and ends in October. The big factor in the rankings is head-to-head and beating quality teams in your age division, not just racking up wins.

Here will be the basic formula for 2019...

1. If a team beats another team higher in the rankings and are within 4-5 spots, they will probably jump them. If they show a trend of beating quality teams they will also climb in the rankings.
2. If two teams split games, the team that was ranked ahead will stay ahead. (Tourney play more regarded than league, and playoffs more regarded than pool play). A trend of beating a team more than once will also be considered.
3. Three way ties will also be determined by the higher ranking.
4. Playing up an age division does not count count for or against your overall ranking.
5. Data is complied from USSSA, Gameday, BPA, PBR, Perfect Game, Game Seven, Nations, and various other sources. The biggest determinant will be head-to-head match-ups against top tier/quality competition.

If you have a team/player recommendation we are taking the community approach, meaning we are all ears, and open to constructive arguments/changes...just make sure you have proof to validate claims of why you think a team might be better or a players to watch for.

FAQs:
How do you select the teams?
The rankings are done by using various sanctioning bodies, such, as, USSSA, Gameday, Nations, etc-depending on the state. Then, it spirals out of control from there.
Basically, teams that were able to show a propensity to compete against 3-5 Major teams, get flagged, then the record of the team and full body of work is analyzed using head-to-head match-ups and more. There is no bias, it is based on game outcomes and Key Wins. Key wins demonstrates the ability to compete at the highest level.
My team has a 85-5 record, but a team that is 30-12 is ranked higher? What is going here?
Quantity doesn't matter, many teams play up an age division and face much tougher competition.
My team is not ranked and it should be...we were Bamboozled. This team sucks, this team didn't beat anyone, etc. What is going on here?
We don't get everything right and that is what this is for-a community effort. Some teams admittedly get lost in the shuffle, and for some it is just sour grapes. Many teams don't even keep game changer for whatever reason. If you have a complaint, it should be sent with proof. See again how we select teams and send a checklist on what your team has done and your Quality/Key Wins. Badmouthing other teams will not be permitted and you will be banned from our Facebook Page.
Why isn't my 8u team ranked?
Not enough of a body of work yet, those will be up after 3-4 tourneys and starting in April or May.
