Our first PIAA baseball rankings of the 2026 season begin with a refresher for the top teams from the final Trib HSSN state rankings of 2025.
The 2025 state champions were Cedar Cliff in Class 6A, Upper Dublin in 5A, Indiana in 4A, Riverside in 3A, Faith Christian in 2A and Southern Fulton in A.
The WPIAL (Indiana and Riverside) and District 1 (Upper Dublin and Faith Christian) earned bragging rights with two PIAA winners.
District 3 with Cedar Cliff and District 5 with Southern Fulton also had reason to celebrate last June.
Faith Christian looks to three-peat after winning 2024 state gold in Class A and another PIAA title in 2025 in 2A.
A new season begins with three new No. 1 teams to go along with Indiana, Faith Christian and Southern Fulton still at the top.
