Metro baseball Top 10: Is the east side the best side in high school baseball?
Half of the teams in the rankings are from schools east of Minneapolis, while the west side has the metro’s most dominant squad in our first baseball poll of the spring.
The undefeated Trojans (5-0) are averaging 11.6 runs per game and have thrown three shutouts, climbing to No. 1 in the Metro Top 10 baseball rankings. Farmington, also unbeaten at 7-0, lands in the No. 4 position.
