PBR Wisconsin POWER 25

The Wisconsin high school baseball season kicked off on March 28, opening day for regular season action under WIAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we published our team previews ahead of the 2023 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down through the official PBR Wisconsin Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Since Opening Day, our scouts have been out and about covering the 2023 season, publishing scout notes and additional in-season content along the way, like Power 25 updates, Player of the Week awards, and weekly top performers included inside Diamond Notes.

Follow along throughout the spring season by following us on Twitter @PBRWisconsin. These rankings were updated the morning of Tuesday, May 30, and we won't update them again until after the state tournament is concluded.
