DP Mid-season Rankings

Last season when the season came to an abrupt close, DP changed things up and did a new set of rankings after preseason tourneys and region play began. In 2021, we are in full swing and we have elected to do a midseason ranking once again. Since our initial ranking, some teams have emerged while others are off to a tough start. Take a moment to rev...

dp Power Rankings: 2021

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 to ever actually play on the field. Most of our tie-breakers were e...

dp Pre-Season Rankings: SCISA

-SCISA Overview-
Private school baseball has had it's share of high-profile names in the past, we believe that to be the case this season, at least at the top! Over the year's, some legit guys have emerged from the SCISA division, this campaign is littered with underclass names that are destined to land on the grandest stage! Let's take a look...

dp Pre-Season Rankings: 5A

 - 5A Overview -

This spring shapes up to be another interesting year in 5A's next season. But a host of suitors return talent and upcoming prospects will grace South Carolina creating a rollercoaster throughout the campaign, then especially when the post-season arrives! Keep in mind, only two teams from each region will advance to the p...

dp Pre-Season Rankings: 4A

- 4A Overview -

This classification is VERY loaded with contenders but DP’s toughest predictions in 4A were at the top of the food chain. AC Flora is as decorated of a program that our state has seen in the last 20 years, but we went with a pitching staff that is star-studded at #1 and possesses depth too. We are hopeful of this, there will b...

dp Pre-Season Rankings: 3A

 - 3A Overview -
When DP tried every single way to pick against the reigning champ, we were unable to select a team that could overtake our previous ‘Team of the Decade’. In the past few years, Bishop England has won scores of games and run roughshod through 3A…but this is another season and we know some other quality clubs are poised to make ...

dp Pre-Season Rankings: 2A

- 2A Overview -
Through the DP lens of 2A baseball it appears that this classification may not be 'up for grabs' in 2021. In our estimation, so much talent has landed in one spot, but Andrew Jackson and Landrum return arms that are unwilling to relinquish the title without a say-so. Each will be pursued by others that take aim at them, of course an...
