DENVER — As the spring season heats up, so does the competition across Colorado high school baseball. The latest rankings saw major movement after several statement wins, rivalry matchups, and upsets from April 14–19. Grandview takes over the No. 1 spot in 5A, Mountain Vista is streaking, and Lewis-Palmer made its presence known in 4A with back-to-back 16 run wins.

Here’s your all-in-one look at this week’s top teams, key takeaways, and games to circle for the week ahead.

Who’s Hot / Who’s Not

🔥 Who’s Hot:

• Grandview (5A): Now ranked #1 after a clean win over Cherokee Trail and Castle View’s stumble.
• Mountain Vista (5A): Six straight wins, including a 12-1 rout of Regis, have the Golden Eagles soaring to #3.
• Lewis-Palmer (4A): Delivered back-to-back blowouts (16-6 and 16-5) over Cheyenne Mountain and moved to #2.
• Windsor (4A): Quietly climbing with 7 straight wins. Now #5 after defeating Mead 6-2.
• Sterling (3A): A tight 9-8 win over Eaton boosted them into the Top 10 at #7.
• Forge Christian (2A): Three wins this week against Dayspring Christian, Denver Christian, and PRA by a combined score of 33-5 earns them the #1 ranking in 2A.

🧊 Who’s Not:

• Castle View (5A): A 13-12 loss to Douglas County knocks them out of the top spot.
• Regis Jesuit (5A): Recovered with a win over Legend, but a 12-1 loss to Mountain Vista stings.
• Cheyenne Mountain (4A): Two big losses to Lewis-Palmer drop them down the rankings.
• Eaton (3A): Still strong, but a narrow loss to Sterling dents their Top 3 status.
