NCAA Top 25: Week of March 3, 2025

0 Shares

Prospects1500 is officially expanding our coverage on the amateur side of baseball to include weekly NCAA Division I Top 25 ranks. The rankers consist of Shaun Kernahan (@ShaunKernahan), Kurt Moody (@DET_Guru_Kurt), and Michael Kelley (@MKelley_ND).

While Texas A&M would have been our consensus number one coming into the year, they had an abysmal week-plus, losing four in a row before the bats came alive to end the weekend against Rice. Add to that the fact they lost a heart of the lineup bat in Gavin Grahovac, and likely would have ended up unranked if not for their performance on Sunday.

At this point it is really hard to argue for anyone other than Tennessee at the top of the ranks, as they have outscored their opponents 128-22 on the season, for an average margin of victory greater than 9.5 runs.

The ACC and SEC appear to be dominant forces yet again, with 10 of our top 11 and 20 of our top 25 coming from those two conferences.

Kurt Moody

Based deep in the heart of Texas, I am surrounded by the absolute best of college baseball year after year. From midweeks at The Dish to weekends watching Olsen Magic, I love the energy of D1 college baseball. For the past five years, I have been covering the Detroit Tigers organization for Prospects1500 while also ranking MLB Draft eligible players as they join the FYPD and Dynasty world.

Being able to learn from the game’s best coaches and watch the student athletes passionately compete is a blessing I do not take lightly. While rooted in SEC country, I am a B1G Ten truther to my core. I will always stop for a prospect discussion or for random baseball trivia. You can usually find me throughout the baseball season walking the baselines and concourses. Remember friends, “Every game is someone’s first game!”

Born in Arizona. Raised in the Midwest, and with lots of baseball. When I’m not writing about baseball or purchasing my next baseball card, I can be seen coasting down the highway to yet another travel baseball tournament with my wife and son. I love the Braves, bat flips and outfield assists.
