LOS ANGELES, CALIF.The Week Seven Power 25 saw movement and after the few games last week, there are sure to be more changes to the upcoming Week Eight Power Rankings given the upsets, the highlights, and the teams that continue to make their way up and down the rankings during the 2023 season that has been far from disappointing.

While scheduling limited the number of Power 25 games this week, the PBR team caught tons of action from unranked teams filled with tons of talent with the potential to be Power 25 risers. You can catch up on how the Power 25 fared last week as a whole in our Weekly Review.

In this edition of What We Saw for Week Seven of the CIF high school baseball season we have tons of highlights from the top players in the state as well as uncommitted players to look out for in the future.
