2025 Ramsay Rams Team Preview


Austin Sharp
Alabama Scouting Director

The 2025 high school baseball season is quickly approaching and as usual, excitement abounds 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 Alabama.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in the Jacksonville/Oxford/Montgomery area at the AISA or AHSAA state championships, but there is plenty of work to be done before that becomes reality. We hope to familiarize our readers with many of the teams across the state as we preview individual teams across Alabama. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews and by continuing our scheduled podcasts and releasing our preseason top-10 rankings in each AHSAA classification.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across the state.

Each week we will be releasing our Players of the Week, updating the top-10 ranks in each AHSAA classification, as well updating our Power 25 overall rankings. One thing, especially, you don’t want to miss are our scheduled podcasts with guests from across the state, as well as the recaps and previews of the big games we’re covering.

*Please note the information has been gathered from head coaches across the state, based on their replies to the questionnaire we distributed over this offseason.

TEAM OUTLOOK

The Ramsay Rams enter the 2025 season looking to build off of last year's campaign that saw them record at 14-14 record, which was a quality improvement from the year prior. The Rams return a strong mix of experienced returners on both sides of the ball this spring and are hoping those players can lead them to an even better season in 2025. Their area features a couple quality teams in Class 5A, but the Rams will look to be playing their best baseball down the stretch and into area play.

Last season, the Rams finished behind Leeds and Moody in their area standings and unfortunately missed out on the Class 5A playoffs. This season, expectations are continiuing to be raised within their program as they look to improve on their .500 winning percentage a season ago. There seems to be some quality talent on this year's team with a good mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen who are looking to continue to set the standard for the future of the Rams' program. Looking at some of the notable returners, SS Gavin Franklin (2025) and C DeVaughn Rudolph (2025) are a pair of seniors who are expected to contribute on the field in addition to being two of the main senior leaders this spring. OF/RHP Tyus Waller (Stillman, 2025) is another quality senior prospect who has the ability to make a sizable impact on both sides of the ball. Shifting the focus to some key underclassmen, C/RHP Kelbi Tunstall (2028), 1B Gregory Nixon (2027), 1B Fred Edwards (2028), and C/RHP Carter Mosley (2028) all look to have bright futures ahead of them over the next few years and are hoping they can provide some value on both sides of the ball for the Rams this spring.

A few of the Rams' main team strengths this spring are speed, power, and quality leadership from some of their senior returners. Many of the previously-mentioned underclassmen will rely on some of those seniors to continue to help in their development as they aim to have another solid season. They'll compete in Class 5A, Area 10 against Carver-Birmingham, John Carroll Catholic, and Leeds for a spot in the playoffs at the end of the regular season. The Rams will hope to be playing their best baseball down the stretch as they look to reach the playoffs in Class 5A in 2025.
