Season 26 is well under way now and it's time to check in with the power rankings. Atlanta holds on to the top spot with the league's best pitching staff. Colorado Springs holds steady at #2, off to a great start. Houston comes in at #3, and a very impressive offensive squad, Texas is at #4. The top 4 are in a dead heat at this point, so it will be interesting to see if Atlanta pulls away again, or if someone else can dethrone them from the top spot. Here are the complete rankings!
