Preseason Statewide Baseball Coaches Polls
OSAAtoday is thrilled to present its 2022 preseason statewide Baseball Coaches Polls in all classifications. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor. The voting was more robust – 92 ballots cast over five classifications – that ever before, in any sport, at any time. Keep it up!
Look for the polls every other Monday during the spring season.
Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
