The Missouri high school baseball kicks off on March 20th, opening day for regular season action under MSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we published 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 Team Rankings.

Our rankings are broken up into two divisions: large school and small schools. We classify the 'large' schools as those residing in Class 5 & 6, while the small schools make up the remaining MSHSAA classifications. We rank what we believe to be the top teams in the state at that level, as well as highlighting several 'On Deck' teams.

Below you will find our Week 5 team rankings for the 2025 season for Large Schools and Small Schools.

During the season, you can catch all the action by following us on Twitter @PrepBaseballMO.
