Nearly two weeks into the 2023 WPIAL baseball and softball seasons, it’s time to see who is feeling the power on the diamonds early this spring.

Several familiar schools that ended the 2022 season ranked in the Trib 10 are back for more.

Bethel Park was the Trib 10 top baseball team and Neshannock the No. 1 softball team when last year ended.

While the Black Hawks aren’t ranked in the debut power rankings, at least not yet, the Lancers are No. 7 in softball.

The two top teams for the inaugural power rankings are Montour baseball and Seneca Valley softball.
