THE TIER LIST: VYPE SATX Preseason Baseball Rankings; CTJ, O'Connor, Reagan begin on top

Despite what the weather may suggest, the spring edition of the UIL calendar has officially arrived, well into February.

As fans return to the ballpark, a new season of excitement begins, and the race to Dell Diamond is on.

In the San Antonio region, all eyes are on the SA Johnson Jaguars, who are fresh off a deep run to the 6A State Semifinals. With that momentum, they sit at No. 1 in our preseason rankings.

District rival Reagan is another team to watch after their impressive four-round postseason run last spring. O’Connor, ranked second, is also a force to reckon with, having reached the Region I Final.

Moving up from Class 4A, the Boerne Greyhounds are ready for a strong 5A campaign. After a successful season last year, they’ll be in the thick of the District 26-5A race, alongside New Braunfels, Boerne-Champion, Alamo Heights, and Tivy.

With so many talented teams, Region IV is shaping up to be loaded with contenders for a state championship run in the months ahead.
