The third edition of our weekly national high school baseball top 25 rankings is here, and we have a new name joining the list.

Corona (Calif.) won the prestigious Boras Baseball Classic last week and remains in our top spot for another week. In fact, we didn't see any movement until No. 6, as the bruising bats of Puyallup (Wash.) pushed them to the brink of our top five.

Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) kept winning and had the biggest jump of any team this week, going from 16 to 12. Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.) fell from No. 12 to No. 15 with a pair of losses, while a rough start to the season down in Florida knocked Brooklyn's Poly Prep Country day out of the top 25.

At 20-1 after just missing the cut last week, Houston's Memorial Mustangs earned their spot in the top 25 with another dominant showing. If they can continue the pace they've been on, they'll be a threat to continue rising up the board in coming weeks
