Editor's Note: As mentioned below, the preseason rankings are produced by the Baseball Wisconsin Yearbook and the Wisconisn Baseball Coaches Association, not WSN. We received several notes regarding Prairie du Chien moving up from D3 last year to D2 this year, which was not caught by the Baseball Wisconsin Yearbook prior to their publication. We have notified the Baseball Wisconsin Yearbook of their error but have not received revised rankings to reflect Prairie du Chien in Division 2.

Prairie du Chien won a third straight SWC title last year, its eighth in the past ten years, and advanced to the state tournament for the first time since 2008, finishing as the D3 runner-up to Saint Mary Central.

The Blackhawks are back for more under longtime head coach Mark Pedretti, and enter the season as the number one team in the Baseball Wisconsin Division 3 Rankings. 

Defending champion Saint Mary Central is second, following by 2015 titlist Lake Country Lutheran and traditional powers Coleman and Regis.
