The Missouri high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 20, opening day for regular season action under MSHSAA 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 Missouri 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: “2025 team strengths will be pitching and depth. I believe we will have a number of guys who can command the zone with multiple pitches and will be able to get outs. Team Defense will also take a step up as the gloves have improved. We will be a scrappy offensive team, but I believe we will show spurts of power throughout the season with the goal of getting hot at the right time. Inexperience [will be a weakness]. We graduated 14 seniors last year, so there are a lot of fresh faces. I believe this group to be hungry and they will get up to speed early on. ” – Trey Pirkle, head coach
