The Kansas high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 20, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2025 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down to the official Prep Baseball Kansas Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Perennially, we’ve submitted a preseason questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

Our 2025 preseason coverage continues today.

Coach’s Insight: “We will be very good on the mound and defensively. Our offense will see some new faces at the varsity level so we hope to produce runs any way we can. Our pitching and defense will most likely keep us in games. Uncertainty of our offense because we lost a lot of good bats. Some younger guys are going to have to step up and produce for us to be successful.” – Andy Bent, head coach
