Triple Crown Baseball announces 11u and 12u National Rankings

Event directors from Triple Crown Sports have finished digging through the data from the 2018 youth baseball calendar and are pleased to announce their 11u and 12u National Rankings.

The top spot at 11u is held by MVP Hustle – Prieto from California, and the 12u rankings are paced by Spitfire Elite – Pizarro from Texas.

Triple Crown’s youth baseball rankings required ongoing research throughout the season, totaling six months’ worth of tournaments. Results were pulled coast-to-coast from more than 30 events in each age division, and each event was weighted based on the number of Top 10 teams that competed.

“Triple Crown has a long history of producing nationally respected rankings in fastpitch softball and volleyball, and we’ve always prioritized traveling to top events,” said TCS baseball event director Jason McCoy. “The competition you face in a given tournament, and the number of quality teams on your schedule, are important factors in identifying a team’s body of work.
​
“The state of Texas is well represented on both the 11u and 12u rankings list; this is consistent with other national rankings published by youth baseball organizations and is a testament to youth baseball programs in Texas that eagerly look to test themselves against the best.”
