Pre-season rankings thoughts- input appreciated

There is good quality baseball at the 11u level above the beltway. For a team that has numerous wins against top 10 teams to not be ranked destroys the credibility of the rankings.
Looking forward to a very competitive season.

Update 11u Manchester Blue Sox (10u 2018) are RBA Royals now. Same coach, same players, a couple of guest/expanded roster kids for big-venue events (4 to 8 game venues) just working with another coach in the PA area on that and partnering in a positive way to integrate kids and give them some extra opportunities where appropriate. Don't care where we rank, goal is to just play top 10 talent from MD and all of the states we travel to this season and beyond and let the kids keep developing and growing in love of the game. Shout out to Tide, Lake Shore A, Hickory Black, MA Red Sox, Olney Pirates, Gambrills and Elkridge Orange at our age group all of them belong in top 10 unless teams or coaches have dramatically changed for some reason. Always fun to play and learn from. Good luck this season everyone...most of our tourneys are invite and/or regional we will be at a few in state and hope to see everyone around the diamond! (if I missed any shout outs it's non-intentional...we saw a lot of really good teams from NJ, PA, VA last season as well but this is just MD ranks)

I am Div I scout that lives in the Mid Atlantic area and have a nephew that plays in the 13U age group. I have anomalously watched many teams in that age group and would rank them the following way:

13U

Team Name Wins / Losses
1) EvoShield 17-0-1
2) Frederick Hustlers 15-2
3) Olney 14-3
4) HCYP 16-5
5) Dig In 15-5-1
6) White Marsh 9-3
7) Lakeshore Graysox 7-4-1
8) Elkridge 9-7-1
9) Warriors BCCC 8-3
10) Rawlings As 7-1

Divison 1 scout? Makes no sense.

I respectfully disagree with the premise of using the Fall as the guide. My observations of this past Fall were the 14U level in MD was not very strong. Teams were mixed/combined etc. In addition, you also need to factor in that many baseball players are not playing Fall baseball due to playing their Fall sport of choice. Some teams didn’t even play a Fall schedule. Many of the teams below have recruited heavily and picked up significant talent. I am sure everyone has “pre-season” opinions, but time will quickly tell. I think you also must factor in “difficulty of schedule”. How many of the teams below are playing outside of MD in top tier tourneys? Would love to see MD teams do well outside of the state winning some tournaments. I am sticking with the below based on what I know. Time will eventually tell. Everything until we have tangible results is pure speculation and opinions:

14U Pre-Season 2019:

1.EvoShield Canes
2.Swing XP
3.Mid Maryland United
4.Gambrills Athletics
5.Delmarva Aces
6.Dig In
7.Rawlings A’s
8.API
9.Mid Atlantic Red Sox
10.Calvert Tide
