New Episode LIVE now! - At The Yard Podcast

The 2024 California 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 California.

Teams across the state have goals and aspirations to finish their seasons in their respective CIF Section Championship Game, 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 California. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 25 rankings that’ll carry us into the opening week of action and the Third Annual Prep Baseball California Spring Invitational.

Please keep checking back throughout the season as we will be your one-stop shop for everything related to high school baseball across California. Each week we will be releasing our Power 25, Players of the Week, Diamond Notes, Podcasts and much more.

TEAM OUTLOOK

Off to a 4-2 record this season, the Coyotes have relied on some veteran arms to lead the way. Amongst those is ‘24 Jordan Kingston, who brings a intimidating presence to the mound, built at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds and he is currently ranked at No. 209 in our Class of 2024 rankings board. ‘24 Lee Atkinson offers a southpaw profile that Coach Cassidy certainly appreciates, along with fellow left-handed arm, ‘25 Luc Olson.

The offense for the Coyotes has shown spurts of productivity this season too. A pair of division 1 commits, ‘24 Nate Castellon and ‘24 Matthew Witkow have been expected to pace this offense while being relied on to be lockdown defenders in their respective positions, too. ‘24 Brandon Hoffman and ‘24 Will Stubington are two other senior leaders on this team that will be relied on offensively throughout the season, with Hoffman also expected to pitch in some capacity too.

Coach Thomas Cassidy’s Expectations: “We will compete by relying on our experience on the mound.”
