The impact of COVID-19 on high school baseball in Georgia
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on High school baseball in Georgia. The virus has forced the cancellation of the 2020 season, leaving many seniors without the opportunity to compete for a state championship
The cancelled season has also had a major impact on the Georgia High School Baseball Rankings for 2022. With no 2020 season to provide data, the rankings are based solely on the 2019 season. As a result, many of the top teams in the state are from large schools that have traditionally been among the best in the state.
The top five teams in the Georgia high school baseball Rankings for 2022 are:
1. Lovett School
2. North Gwinnett High School
3. Cherokee High School
4. Pope High School
5. Marist School
How the pandemic has affected recruiting
While the pandemic has forced cancellations and postponements of seasons across the country, it has also had a significant impact on recruiting. Many college programs have been forced to reduce or even eliminate their recruiting budgets, and as a result, many high school prospects have seen their recruitment slow down or come to a complete halt.
As a result of the pandemic, the Georgia high school baseball Rankings for 2022 have been significantly affected. Many of the top prospects in the state have seen their recruitment slow down or come to a complete halt. As a result, there has been a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the rankings.
The top three prospects in the state are still uncommitted, and it is unclear where they will eventually end up signing. The pandemic has made it very difficult for college programs to evaluate players, and as a result, many prospects are flying under the radar. It is important to keep in mind that these rankings are subject to change at any time, and they should be treated as such.

The outlook for high school baseball in Georgia for the next few years
While there is always some uncertainty when projecting high school baseball talent several years in advance, Georgia has a good crop of young talent that should keep the state’s high school baseball programs among the best in the country for the next few years.
The 2022 class looks especially strong, with several players ranked among the top prospects in the country. Among those players are five-tool outfielder Jason Heyward who is ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the country by Baseball America and right-handed pitcher Cole Wilcox, who is ranked No. 3 by perfect game
Other top prospects in the state include outfielder Bradley Johnson (No. 23 by Perfect Game), catcher Jackson Leath (No. 30 by Perfect Game), and infielder/outfielder Drew Waters (No. 36 by Baseball America).
With such a talented group of prospects, it is no surprise that Georgia is also well-represented in the most recent ESPN High School Baseball Top 25 Rankings. Three Georgia teams are currently ranked in the Top 25, led by No. 2 Walton high school (Marietta) and No. 3 Bishop Verot high school (Gainesville).
