Hamilton back on top in Arizona Republic's high school baseball rankings
Here is the latest Arizona Republic high school baseball rankings after last week's spring tournaments. The Super 10 comprises the best 10, regardless of conference. This is through March 18, 2023.
Super 10
1. Chandler Hamilton Huskies, 7-2
They went 4-0 to take their first Boras Classic championship, flexing their muscles with a home run display from Drew Rogers, Liam Wilson and Boston Kellner, who combined to hit 13 home runs. They started the season second to Casteel, but now land the top spot for the first time this season.
2. Phoenix Sandra Day O'Connor Eagles, 9-2
They're the last team to beat Hamilton and are coming off a 6-1 win over Colorado's Valor Christian.
3. Queen Creek Casteel Colts, 7-2
The power display in a 21-4, five-inning win over Scottsdale Saguaro in the Boras Classic was something to behold. When they get at-bats going like that, extending innings, it's going to be hard for anybody to beat them.
4. Chandler Basha Bears, 11-3-1
They've been rolling after a rough start. They've hit 16 home runs and have a team ERA under 3.00.
5. Saguaro Sabercats, 10-3
After that impressive 6-0 win over Bishop Gorman, the No. 6-ranked team in the nation at the time, the Sabercats quickly fell back to Earth in a 21-4 loss to Casteel. But Cam Caminiti has been on a tear on the mound and at the plate for a 4A team that ended up going 3-1 in the Boras Classic.
6. Scottsdale Chaparral Firebirds, 7-4
Chaparral went 3-1 in the Boras Classic, losing their only game to Hamilton 13-3 in the championship game. They shocked Casteel 3-2 in the semifinals.
7. Gilbert Highland Hawks, 6-0
They were idle last week.
8. Phoenix Brophy Broncos, 8-3
One of the best pitching staff in the state shut down Chandler twice last week with 8-3 and 3-0 wins.
9. Tucson Catalina Foothills Falcons, 8-1
Did not play last week.
10. Gilbert Tigers, 11-3
They've been red hot led by great pitching, winning their last seven games, including the championship of the Bob Everett Classic.
