Super 25: Preseason

The wait is over! We’re kicking off the season with our first Super 25 Rankings for Cold Weather Bats, based entirely on preseason predictions, returning talent, program momentum, and early buzz. This initial list sets the stage, but it’s far from final — expect plenty of shake-ups as the season gets going and teams prove themselves on the field.

From powerhouse programs to rising squads flying under the radar, this ranking highlights the best of the best from the cold-weather states — where grit, grind, and toughness are a given. Stay locked in, because over the next few weeks, we’ll see who lives up to the hype and who’s ready to crash the party.

Let the season begin.
