In the final Baseball America/National High School Baseball Coaches Association rankings, Archbishop McCarthy High of Southwest Ranches, Fla. stakes its claim as the 2011 national champions. The Mavericks finished 29-3 and defeated now-No. 22 Jesuit High in the Florida 4-A finals.

There was just one change since the last poll. Lexington (Ky.) Catholic High lost in the state semi-finals and dropped from the poll. Central Hardin High of Cecilia, Ky. won the Bluegrass State's championship and slid into the back at No. 50.

The staffs of Baseball America and the NHSBCA compile the Top 25 rankings. Records indicated are as of June 19 and do not include ties.
