Once again, there is a new No. 1 in Class 4A for Iowa high school baseball. In the latest Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association rankings, Pleasant Valley has taken over the top spot.

Last week, Cedar Rapids Prairie was No. 1, but the two teams flipped for the positions this week. It has been a bit of a revolving door between teams this season in the state’s largest classification.

The other three top-ranked teams in each class remained the same. Dubuque Wahlert is still No. 1 in 3A, as is Underwood in 2A and Remsen St. Mary’s in 1A.

Just one team is new among the four classes and 15 teams in Iowa City Liberty, as the Lightning are rated eighth in 4A this week.
