The Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association has released its pre-season rankings. Grinnell is ranked tenth in Class 3A, with Oskaloosa, Pella, Centerville and Washington getting votes. And Pekin received votes in 1A baseball, but not enough to crack the top ten.

Oskaloosa is ranked seventh in Class 4A, with Dallas Center-Grimes fifth and Newton 12th. Albia is ranked third in Class 3A with Centerville 15th.
