The Arkansas high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 3, opening day for regular season action under AAA 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 Arkansas 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 have an experienced team. We return three 4 year starters up the middle along with a veteran pitching staff. We lack overall power as a team. We won't hit many home runs this season. We will have to make quality contact and be smart on the bases to manufacture big innings.” – Dustin Wolcott, head coach
