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 Calabasas Coyotes.

BOTTOM LINE

We lost some key pieces over the last two years, but this provides opportunities for young promising talented players in our program to get their opportunities to perform on the varsity level. How those players adapt and perform will be key to our success in 2024.

PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE

Calabasas is coming off a strong 3 year run that includes a pair of Marmonte League titles, a CIF-D2 South Regional Title and a berth in the CIF-SS D1 playoffs many of the key players from those teams have moved on, but this gives a chance for some intriguing players to get their first extensive varsity level playing time and you can never count at a Thomas Cassidy coached team as they will be prepared at a high level looking to make noise in the talented Marmonte League again. - Steven Hardesty Assistant Scouting Director
