The UIL baseball tournament begins this week as the month-long "Race to Round Rock" commences for some of the area's legit contenders.

The history of Houston-area baseball is rich with tradition as the Bayou City is home to several state champs.

So, who reaches state?

Here are VYPE's Top 5 to be playing June.

No.1 The Woodlands (Class 6A, Region II) – It would be SHOCKING if the Highlanders didn't reach state. Coach Ron Eastman has seen it all over his tenure in the dugout. His squad is loaded with no weakness – great pitching, good fielding, hot hitting. TWHS reached state last season but fell in the semis. Honestly, if The Woodlands don't make it, it would send shock waves throughout the state baseball landscape.

No. 2 Cy Ranch (Class 6A, Region II) – The Mustangs have two of the livest arms in the nation in Matt Thompson and JJ Goss, who will get drafted early in the MLB June Draft. But do they have the hitting? Hard to say. Yes, they would face The Woodlands in the Regional Finals

We’re talking about Brown’s growth since last season, whether he belongs in the #1 or #2 spot in the rotation, and how his performance stacks up against other well-paid, well-deserved pitchers across the league.
