MIAA Baseball: Final Top 25 Poll of 2018

By Matt Feld (@Mattyfeld612)

To cap off our content for the 2018 MIAA Baseball season, SuiteSports is ready to release its final Top 25 Poll.

There is little drama when it comes to number one, while North Attleboro, Austin Prep, Archbishop Williams, and Needham all finish in the top 15 behind their state championship runs.

Here is our final top 25 poll for the 2018 MIAA Baseball Season as chosen by our panel of writers, correspondents, and editors.

1. Franklin (21-5): Franklin went from being the last team voted into Super Eight to taking home the tournament's title as a seven seed. Staff aces Jake Noviello and Bryan Woelfel graduate, but with Alex Haba and Jake Macchi back in the fold the Panthers should compete once again in 2019.

Brockton, Mass. – Central Catholic’s dynamic duo of Dominic Keegan and Steve Hajjar made sure the Raiders quickly turned the page following Thursday night’s loss.

Keegan and Hajjar combined to go 7-for-10, with nine runs, four RBIs, and four extra base hits to lead No. 4 Central Catholic to a 16-9 win over No. 1 BC High in the Super Eight Semifinals on Saturday afternoon at Campanelli Stadium.

Central Catholic advances to the Super Eight Final against Franklin for the first time in program history. BC High finishes its season at 18-7.

After a couple of weeks of poor weather and bad field conditions, the baseball season got into the swing of things last week.

With the season now well underway, here is SuiteSports' first updated MIAA Baseball Top 25 Poll as selected by our panel of writers, correspondents, and editors.

1. Boston College High (3-1; Preseason Poll: 4) Led by Mike Vasil and Sean O'Connell the Eagles have already picked up quality wins over St. John's Prep, St. John's Shrewsbury, and Braintree. As a whole, BC High's pitching staff has surrendered just two earned runs in four games.

Our Preseason MIAA Baseball Rankings, as selected by our team of editors and correspondents. 

1. Central Catholic (Last Year: 20-4) Coming off their first Super Eight appearance, the Raiders return all the components of a team primed for a deep June run.  

2. St. John’s Shrewsbury (Last Year: 22-4): The defending Division 1A Super Eight champions certainly lost a large part of last year's success to graduation, but Sean Burke and Nick McDonald are at the center of a strong returning core.
