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 Livermore Cowboys.

BOTTOM LINE
We have a depth of returners on both the mound and in our lineup. Our starting pitchers give us a chance to win every game and with a lineup that features power and athletic ability there is plenty of reason to see us build on the strong 2024 season. - Coach Perotti.
PREP BASEBALL CA STAFF’S TAKE
In a very tough North Section League that is fronted by the tri of De La Salle, Granada and Livermore. With the players they have returning to the program who gained valuable experience, I'm especially excited to see Braden Ford and Dylan Wherry as they continue to mature on the mound and front the program. With the lineup they can post game by game and the strong pitching staff I anticipate them to improve on their 2024 record. - Hank LoForte NorCal Scouting Director
