Top 25 Mississippi high school boys baseball rankings (4/1/2025)

This week in the latest addition of the top 25 rankings for high school baseball in Mississippi, we have three teams breaking into the top 25 after a stellar week. We have some significant movement in the rankings this week.
Hartfield Academy steals the top spot from Magnolia Heights, but it is almost impossible to separate the top four teams from one another. Jackson Academy takes a fall after losing two to Presbyterian Christian.
With that being said, the full list of the top 25 teams are listed below.
1. Hartfield Academy (16-2)
The Hawks claim the top spot this week after sweeping St. Joseph Catholic in a three-game series last week. In their final game, they won 19-3. They now turn their attention with a pivotal three-game series with Jackson Academy this week.
2. Magnolia Heights (20-4)

3. Southeast Lauderdale (18-1)
In their lone game last week, the Tigers defeated Noxubee County 15-0. They now set their sights on Neshoba Central, Kemper County and West Lauderdale this week.
