Final 2017 media composite baseball rankings

Video: Joseph Perez of Archbishop McCarthy
Watch the Mavericks' All-American perform during the National High School Invitational.

Seven-time Florida state champion Archbishop McCarthy did not finish No. 1 in any national baseball poll this year, but it ends the 2017 season as the No. 1 team in the final Baseball Top 25 media composite rankings.

The Mavericks are ranked No. 2 in five of the polls in the media composite rankings and No. 4 in two others. The consistent high ranking allows Archbishop McCarthy to finish ahead of Shawnee (Okla.), which is ranked No. 1 in five polls and No. 3 in another, but is not ranked in the top 25 by the MaxPreps computer rankings.

Helena (Ala.), which is ranked No.1 in both the MaxPreps computer rankings and the USA Today computer rankings, is the only other team to hold a No.1 ranking. Helena is ranked No. 3 in the composite rankings.

Archbishop McCarthy, Helena, Eastlake (Chula Vista, Calif.) and La Cueva (Albuquerque) were the only teams ranked by all seven rankings services.

A total of 62 teams were ranked by at least one poll (including three from Iowa, which plays a summer season instead off spring). Of those, 23 were ranked by only one service.

Collegiate Baseball Newspaper had the highest number of composite teams in its top 25 with 20. MaxPreps Xcellent 25 was next with 19, followed by Perfect Game with 18, MaxPreps computer rankings, Baseball America and USA Today expert each had 17 and USA Today computer rankings with 12.
