Postseason Predictions: Since everyone loves a good list or ranking, DP took a stab at predicting each round of the prep playoffs. Things of this nature are not an exact science and pitching match-ups plus weather will always play a major hand in any bracket. We have surveyed our area scouts and this is what we came up with for the 2015 P...

-SCISA Overview-
Private school baseball may have never had more committed/signed players going into any season than in the Spring of 2014, not the case this year. Over the year's some legit guys have emerged from the SCISA division, this campaign is littered with underclass names that have yet to land on the big stage! Let's take a ...

Compiled By: DP Staff - May 17, 2015
Well, here we are now down to eight teams (once 3A is finalized on Monday), providing us the forecast of an exciting final week! The post-season will wrap up just as the baseball gods choose, but we looked into our crystal ball at the match-ups, threw in some grades on the clubs involved and made a few bold pick...

- 2A Overview -
While some familiar names remain in DP's overall Top 10, there is a new sheriff in 2A baseball now as we have predicted last year's winner to repeat. Led by two-way standout Jacob Childress (right), we select the Ninety-Six Wildcats to hoist the trophy again...but some stout playoff pitching match-ups along the way could easily dera...

Overview - Overall
While we have already slotted each classification by region and overall, we always find it to be a fun exercise to throw all the public schools into a fantasy scenario, some sort of a statewide tournament where we pick our winners if they were ever to actually play on the field. Most of our tie-breakers were essent...

-1A Overview-
The Latta Vikings have fallen victim the past two years (left, JK Love) in the 1A title series to the Upper State St. Joseph's juggernaut, who were on their way to a three-peat in this classification. But in 2015, the Vikings' nemesis to the north has a depleted roster and we have selected Latta as the top team in 1A with a pitching s...

 - 3A Overview -
While AC Flora has had a stanglehold on 3A baseball for the past decade, in the past three years the Falcons have conquered this classification in spectacular fashion. They may certainly pull off another title-run, but DP is predicting a changing of the guard as we shift our pick to an Upstate club that is loaded with proven t...

- 4A Overview -
This spring shapes up to be an interesting year in 4A, which is usually the norm in our state's top classification. Returning talent and upcoming prospects will grace South Carolina and could create a rollercoaster throughout the campaign and when the post-season arrives. While it is simple to call 4A a toss-up, DP does not have tha...
