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.

• Brayden Kent (2025) - 6’1", 210
  • BK as we know him is a football/baseball kid. He’s got a great attitude and will do anything we need him to do including moving to the outfield or playing 1st base. We see him moving around a little at the beginning of the year before finding a spot.

Coach’s Insight: “The future of our program is very strong for the next several years. This group is hungry to get back to the playoffs and hopefully do some damage at that level which has become our expectation year in and year out. With 3-4 full time starters returning, we need to fill some new positions, but we have very high goals. Our kids know that every year the goal is to win the conference, win the district, and go compete in the playoffs to try to win a championship. Our pitching depth will be a strength for us with several returning kids who can fill innings and a few returning from injuries. I also believe this lineup can really provide some pop. Our kids have had a great offseason with weights and agility training, getting stronger and faster. We are very excited about the hard work they have put in to be better athletes and baseball players. We are also very excited about our underclassmen. We have a lot of talent running through those levels that should keep us in that Playoff talk for the next several years. More and more pitching will always be needed with he quality of our schedule. We are moving to the Ozark Mountain Conference and it should be a gauntlet with several good teams being Class 5 or Class 6 in Baseball. Traditionally, it has multiple teams ranked in the top ten of the state and it occurred again last year. It will be a quite a change being the smallest school in the conference by a fair amount. Every game will be big game for us with conference and district implications. We hope this type of schedule will get us ready for district time. We have traditionally Class 4 ranked Aurora, Hollister, Springfield Catholic on the schedule. Along with our conference opponents, our schedule is as tough as ever. We have added traditional powers in Fatima, Father Tolton, Blair Oaks, several Class 5 state ranked opponents (Willard, Webb City, Neosho) as well as several 6 area schools including Nixa, Joplin, Republic and several others. Even with the strength of schedule we are facing, we feel we can still get some W’s, compete at a very high level, and hopefully be ready to play our best baseball come playoff time. In order to play at the level, we want come post season time, its important for us to play the best possible schedule we can play as a Class 4 school.” – Casey Ledl, head coach
