D-1 Baseball is rolling out their updated 2021-22 class rankings for the upcoming season. The rankings take into account Fall Ball.
"Rankings consider all newcomers who arrived at D-I schools this fall or at the semester break: freshmen as well as transfers from junior-college and four-year schools. For third year in a row, we decided to wait until the end of the fall to rank the Top 25 classes, so that all the additional insights we gain by traveling the country watching scrimmages and writing fall reports can help inform our rankings."
As is their habit they're teasing them out slowly.
1/10/2022 post includes #25 > #21 ranked classes (no PAC-12)
1/11/2022 post includes #20 > #16 ranked: UW at 20, Stanford at 16.
tomorrow?

D-1 Baseball today (Jan. 12) has Newcomer Class Rankings #11 thru #15. They have OSU at #14 Nationally:
"RHP Jacob Kmatz New Mexico powerful, 6-foot-3, 209-pound right-hander has swing-and-miss stuff with a low-to-mid 90s fastball, and looks the part of a future weekend starter.
Immediate impact from INF Travis Bazzana. The 6-foot, 191-pound left-handed hitter exploded last summer in the West Coast League … The summer buzz carried over into the fall, and Bazzana has a chance to explode in the spring.
Tyree Reed - Reed’s upside still remains quite high. Reed has battled some lingering injuries, but is clearly the type of talent that can elevate this class ranking much higher as he gains experience."
Other players are mentioned as well.

D-1 Baseball's final rankings of the 2021 classes.
Only 4 schools from the Western U.S. made the Top-25, all 4 are PAC-12 teams.
The #1 class in the nation was the outstanding class put together by John Savage and the UCLA Bruins. Oregon State was second in the PAC-12 at #14 nationally, followed by Stanford at #16 nationally and Washington at #20.

What do you think about Perfect Game's pre-season Top-40 poll? They ranked the Beavs 38th. I think it’s a fair preseason ranking. The Beavs have tons of talent, but there’s enough question marks to take a wait and see approach. It wouldn’t surprise me if this team is very good though, and works it’s way well into the top 25 by the time conference play starts. |
