Comprehensive Coverage of the 2025 North Carolina High School Baseball Season

Throughout the 2025 North Carolina high school baseball season, Prep Baseball NC and its dedicated staff will provide extensive coverage of all aspects of the sport across the state. Our coverage will feature Inside the Box, a daily scoreboard, live scouting at high school games, a maintained Heat Sheet, and ongoing tracking of standout player performances.

Each week, our scouting staff will analyze box scores, consult with high school coaches, college recruiters, and professional scouts to select the Player and Pitcher of the Week. Coaches will have the opportunity to nominate players from their teams for consideration. The recipients of these awards will be announced every Tuesday throughout the spring season.  Each player submitted and considered for the Player of the Week Award will be recognized in the weekly Diamond Notes release.  This list of players will allow fans, coaches, and scouts a place each week to follow some of the best performances weekly in North Carolina.
