The 2025 Wisconsin high school baseball season is quickly approaching and, as usual, excitement is abound throughout the state. Players and coaches have been working in preparation for the upcoming season and, as is the case each year, there are some very talented players and teams across the Badger State.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in their respective WIAA Division State Championship, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams with this initial Preseason Power 25 release which will take us right up to first pitch.

TEAM OUTLOOK

“For three years straight we have played in the sectional final and we finally made it to state last year. We have good experience from players who played in big games. We lost some key seniors, but have some really good core players that will be back to lead us.” – Darrell Washburn, head coach

+ Team Strengths: Pitching and defense
+ No. of Returning Pos. Players: 5
+ No. of Returning Pitchers: 4

Prep Baseball Wisconsin’s Take: KML consistently gets it done, and they’re led by a junior who has already acquired a wealth of experience at the varsity level, where he’s thrived: RHP/1B Brett Biondich (TCU commit). Biondich has a carry fastball that’s been up to 92 mph for us, as well as a sharp, biting breaking ball that he has control over. They graduated one of their all-time great players, Landon Hagenow, but Biondich is ready to take over. The Chargers also bring back seniors RHP/3B Jackson Kobylarzyk (Concordia, WI) and SS Adam Zylka, both of whom hit .394 as juniors and both were first team all-conference in 2024. MIF Blake Hagenow is another junior on this roster with a couple years of varsity experience, and he’ll also play a big role in this team’s day-to-day offensive output.

It’s not too hard to envision Kettle Moraine Lutheran charging their way back to state in 2025.
