The Oklahoma high school baseball season kicks off on Feb. 24 for classes A and B and Mar. 1 for classes 2A-6A, opening day for regular season action under OSSAA 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 Oklahoma 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: “We will be athletic. We have numerous guys who run really well. It should translate to a very good defensive team who also runs the bases really well. We need to have answers for our lack of offense last year. I believe we will swing it a lot better than we did last year, but we need to be more consistent with our hitting. ” – Cody Price , head coach
