Kansas Power 20 Rankings: Week 6
May 2, 2022
Prep Baseball Report Kansas is excited to release week 6 of the Kansas High School Power 20 Rankings. The list consists of the 20 best teams across the state regardless of class rank and will continue to be updated every Monday throughout the season. This list has been compiled by the PBR Kansas staff with reliance upon our knowledge of the teams and players from scouting our tournaments, events, as well as the games that PBR was in attendance for in 2021 as well as input from coach's preseason polls from all levels of the state. As the season progresses, the rankings will update and become more heavily weighted on wins and losses as well as strength of schedule.
This week, Blue Valley West continues their winning ways and maintains the No. 1 spot. Blue Valley Southwest has found their stride and are playing like the team we expected them to be. Great Bend enters the rankings for the first time at No. 18 and have had multiple players make player of the week bids.
*Records are as recorded by KSHSAA on Monday morning.
