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.

Key Players Lost:

• Casey McCarn

Coach’s Insight: “The Mustangs return 5 starters and 3 of their top pitchers from the 2024 4A State Championship team that went 28-1. Gone from that team are All State pitcher Daegen Vinduska (Barton County) and All League players Brandon Krainbill and Casey McCarn. The Mustangs will look to strong leadership from All State Catcher Drew Becker and All League 3B Donavan Debita and a strong pitching staff led by Cooper Sieben, Ryker Zoeller, and Brock Lubbers (So.). SS Peter Martinie also returns after a fantastic sophomore season. The Mustangs will be young behind the dish as returning starter Drew Becker tore his ACL during the football season. A number of younger guys will be competing for that spot as well as the two vacated outfield spots left by Brandon Krainbill and Hunter Prockish. ” – Shane Sieben, head coach
