OSAAtoday - Baseball coaches polls: May 12

OSAAtoday presents its May 12 regular-season 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.

Look for the polls every other Monday during the spring season.

We will have a final coaches poll next Monday.

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.
