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.

VYPE San Antonio Baseball Rankings: Week of 5/03/21 presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors
Each week VYPE's own Joshua Waclawczyk and Scott Terrell sit down and take a look at the teams from each area and rank them based on their super-secret formula. Rankings of the top Baseball and Softball programs in the area are then broken up into 5A-6A, 1A-4A, and Private Schools. Will you agree with our rankings? Most assuredly not. After all, these are just our opinions and we are sure there are much smarter people out there that may have better opinions/rankings. So if you have your own thoughts on these rankings let us know on Twitter (@vypesatx) and Instagram (@vypesatx).
This week's rankings are the final rankings of the regular season (We may do an end-of-season rankings once the Championships happen). Take a look below!
VYPE SATX 5A-6A BASEBALL TOP 10
Reagan ends where they started, #1. Canyon, Smithson Valley, Johnson, and Churchill round out the Top 5. The bottom five sees some adjustments though none drop out because of losses.
VYPE SATX 1A-4A BASEBALL TOP 10
The top three stay the same even with Pleasanton's split games with Hondo. Their five-hour game with Hondo (with rain delay and lights going out) gave them the #1 seed in district. Hondo moves into the rankings with their impressive play in District as well.
VYPE SATX PRIVATE SCHOOL BASEBALL TOP 5
No movement in the Private rankings where Cornerstone and Central Catholic separated themselves as the season went all.
