At The Yard Podcast: New Episode LIVE now!
The 2025 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 these individual programs across California. We will take you right up to first pitch this season with these team previews, eventually releasing our Preseason Power 25 rankings.
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.
Our 2025 preseason coverage continues today with a preview of the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs.

BOTTOM LINE
We lost some key pieces of our 2024 team that was able to win the CCS-D1 title and made it to the finals of the North Region tournament, but with some talented returners on the position player side and the mound we are poised to put together another strong season in 2025. - Coach Yocke
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
With several key players departing from their title team in 2024 they Monarchs are going to lean heavily on the Waylon Walsh the Santa Clara commit SS and Carson Seeger on the mound to guide the team through an ultra competitive WCAL schedule. The will be on the younger side in 2025, but the players stepping into key roles have talent and if they can perform quickly look for the Monarchs to be there in the end again. - Hank LoForte NorCal Scouting Director
