Anybody have a go to source for rankings? PBR does a nice state level countdown (at least they are in FL). Maxpreps is also pretty good once you get a handful of games into the season. I used to use Baseball America but now their site is tough to navigate and everything is behind a paywall.

Doesn’t PG have a national HS team rank list? Or are you looking more for state/regional? PG last updated the rankings a year ago but I’m sure they’ll update it soon.
PG does put a list out. Theirs was ok. Seemed to always be a week or two behind the latest results. I’m mostly looking at state rankings but I also like to check out national rankings.
Look for them to start coming out next month.

Which sites do you like to use?
PG, PBR, and the state coach’s poll are the ones I peruse. All just for entertainment purposes (and on a good year, bragging rights).
I forgot about the coach's poll. I saw one for FL last year and can't remember where now. I think a site called HSBN puts out a decent ranking as well.
PG's rankings start rolling out today.
I had subscribed to Collegiate Baseball Magazine and just got my last edition. I am not renewing but its very cheap and not a bad read. This past edition had its listing of the top 30 HS baseball teams. Image attached. It also has its list of top national players and then top by state. My friends son was listed in North Carolina which was cool but had him as a SS and he's committed as a RHP. For CT it had some of the top players but missed some of the best so the information isn't from some deep analysis that they have done. However, for the OP here is another list to look at non the less.

Interesting list. They are leaving off a couple big FL schools that will likely be top 10 in other publications. John Carroll from Ft. Pierce at #16 puzzles me. I wouldn't have them in my top 30 for the state of FL, much less a national list. Maybe they picked up a couple transfers I don't know about.

Or more likely they have a subscription to College Baseball Magazine
Well, to no surprise, IMG is ranked #1 in FL by PBR. And check out who they have featured!
For those of you halfway or more through your seasons, how are those preseason rankings holding up? The various FL rankings are about half right.
I have seen about 10 Philly-area HS teams play, and Malvern Prep was the best. Not a huge sample size, and still plenty of season to go.

#1 Team has dropped to #25. #20 has moved up to #3.
