Oregon Power 12: Preseason
March 13, 2022
Let’s not make it any more complicated than it needs to be; high school baseball is 100% back! Tomorrow will be the start of a season that is sure to be unlike anything these players have experienced. The last “normal” high school season took place in 2019. Which means this upcoming year will be the first taste of normal Varsity action for an overwhelming majority of the state. With the exception of players who were up on varsity as Freshman, the remaining core of HS athletes have been waiting for this moment for 2 years.
From March 14th till June 4th, we’ll be treated to all the sights and sounds of baseball. From the emotional highs to the heart breaking lows. There will be clutch performances, breakout players, walk-offs and upsets. All of the necessary ingredients that lead up to an eventful and fulfilling playoff experience.
As we look forward to following as much action as possible over the next few months, we wanted to kick off the 2022 season with our first Power 12 rankings of the top teams in 6A and 5A. Similar to last season, our list will focus on the 6A and 5A levels but we are not ruling out the opportunity for other teams to play their way into the mix.
These Power 12 rankings will be continuously updated throughout the season based on our evaluations.
Without further ado, here is our Top 12 heading into the start of the 2022 season…

Amongst the teams in the 7-12 range, there is a mix of high profile arms as well as offensive depth. One team to keep an eye on in 2022 is Tigard. They figure to be strong at the top of their rotation with '23 RHP Buddy Brands (Oregon commit) leading the way.
Stay tuned for more news and updates on how things shake out over the next coming months.
