The 2020 baseball season is underway and every Division I school from Clovis to Bakersfield has started their seasons. Though not every Coastal school has thrown their first pitch yet, there has already been shuffling on the rankings since the preseason list came out last week.
Clovis Sports Report Top 10
1. Memorial (3-0) — 🔼 2 spots
2. Clovis North (3-0) — 🔼 2
3. Clovis West (2-1) — 🔻 1
4. Buchanan (2-1) — 🔼 2
5. Liberty (2-0) — 🔼 1
6. Stockdale (1-0-1) — 🔻 1
7. Righetti (0-0) — No movement
8. Central (3-0) — 🔼 2
9. Tulare Western (2-1) — Unranked
10. Frontier (2-0-1) — Unranked
On the bubble: Bullard, Clovis, Clovis East, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Redwood, Centennial
Notes:
Clovis West moves to #3 after their loss to Memorial. The Golden Eagles have an argument to stay at the 2-spot, but Clovis North pitching has been dominant thus far. Clovis North will get their chance to move to #1 with a win over Memorial this week, but with a loss, Clovis West would reclaim their spot at #2 with an undefeated week.
Buchanan jumps Stockdale. Buchanan has a dominant win over ranked Tulare Western. In addition, their extra inning loss to Memorial is more easily digested than Stockdale’s tie against Division III Independence.
Tulare Western enters the top ten after going 2-1 vs TRAC teams during opening week.
