We’ve entered the final full month of the Oregon high school sports season, which means state baseball is right around the corner.
With league races in the thick of things, we take a look at what the brackets would look like if the season ended today.
By using the Playoff Qualifications outlined here, we determined automatic league qualifiers and found at-large squads using the latest OSAA rankings. We used head-to-head to break any league ties, then defaulted to OSAA ranking if the head-to-head didn’t break it.
The rankings will freeze on May 21 for 6A, 3A and 2A/1A, meanwhile they freeze on May 23 for both 5A and 4A.
Here’s the latest projection as of games played through April 30:
