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 Lincoln Stockton Trojans.

BOTTOM LINE

The success of this team is going to come down to how well we can hit because I have confidence in the talent we have on the mound and our ability to play high level defense. If we can hit to the potential of the lineup we put out there game by game we have a chance to be a very solid team in 2025 - Coach Pijl

PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE

It can not go unnoticed the loss of some key seniors from the 2024 squad especially Raymond Olivas who was the Tigers ace last spring. Replacing their production will be key to the success for the 2025 squad. On the offensive side the Tigers are going to lean heavily on Cal State Fullerton bound SR. Brady Dobson who hit .424 last year to have another big spring season. There is plenty to find out about the Tigers, but if the new faces can step in and perform to their potential while their pitching staff gets sorted out the Tigers can put together another strong campaign in 2025. - Hank LoForte NorCal Scouting Director
